Only a fool would not eat garlic, for centuries it has been known to offer great benefits to your health. It is served in the greatest restaurants in the world and is used by the greatest chef’s on earth.
In countries like France it is the mainstay in everyone’s diet, it is what defines “French Cuisine.” Then there is Gilroy, California who along with hundreds of other cities across America hold “Garlic Festival’s” each year. On Google there are 891,000 listings regarding garlic festivals in this country.
To accurately use garlic you need both onions and olive oil. The onions and olive oil need not be included in every instance but none the less they should be close at hand. Onions and garlic are first cousins who along with olive oil create a “menage a trois” beyond compare…although I can think of a few in the past that could give it a good run for the money…but let’s not drift off track.
Garlic often creeps into some of the things I write about which creates an opening for idiots and other malcontents to run off at the mouth. In doing so it only confirms the mendacity in their everyday life. These are undoubtedly people who grew up eating “white sack” food for dinner. Their mother would go through the drive up window and bring home a white sack and set it on the table, then everyone would eat. Sound familiar?
Today parents need not cook at all; Hy-Vee East offers complete meals served hot ready to take home. There is no longer a need for a real stove in your house…or a kitchen, or silverware if your eating out of a sack….

Peter, you have hit a nerve in me! I have had to put up with food critics for 65 years and for the life of me I have never figured out where they think they have the right to tell me what to eat and how to eat it. Just because you and others like you don’t like “catsup”, doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t enjoy and eat it. I love garlic,olive oil, and onions, but that doesn’t make them a food group that we all have to have to live. And can you “esplaine” to me why every food dish produced on TeeWee today “has” to be loaded with chili peppers and so freaking hot as to take the silver off your fork???? And as we are sharing food ideas can you “esplaine” why you “food snobs” eat with your fork upside down and pile the food on the back using your knife…turn the fork over and use it as it was intended…like a small shovel! You ever find me in a resturant, I’ll be the one stabbing you with my “salad fork”…another useless food tool!
Everyone is either a “fool,idiot or a malcontent” if they don’t agree with Peter.Peter Children “A legend in his own mind”.
Did you just write the an article pointing out something we all already know? Fast food is bad, in summation the sky is blue, fish live in water, and politicians in mason city are real people who drink as well. Thank you Peter for this, your latest gift to us all, you literary genious, you
Het Peter-I actually thought it was a good article and I think I got the point you were trying to get across. After traveling around the world and eating different foods I nust agree with you. Although we couldn’t afford the white bag when I was growing up and have not gone to the white bag as an adult I was raised on hamburger and beans with some potatoes once in awhile. I am now a fan of Mexican food and somewhat Italian food. U.S. food is pretty bland when compared to ther country’s. I’ll bet if you mixed a little pot in with the garlic Peter L. would love it.
I meant Hey in the first line. What a way to start the day with a typo.
and end it with an insult to Peter L.
Peter L.-it’s no more than you deserve when you come up with that off the wall crap.
Bravo! Excellent article. You’ve hit the nail right on the head. You knocked it out of the park. Standing Ovation!
(can you feel the sarcasm?)
Okay, lousy Americans eating lousy food. I get it.
Tell us more about your sexual exploits. That may be worth reading. Names, positions, numbers, locations, dates… (can you still feel the sarcasm?)
PC’s exploits couldnt be published in any newspaper and probably no website… it would take too much ink and pixels. The man was (is) prolific, scores at will, even in his late 70’s.
Peter stole my wife in 1929, right before the great depression.I remember it like it was only 20 years ago.Peter dazzled her with his mastery of the English language. He swept her off her feet with tales of garlic, onion and olive oil. Then he threw her away after he had made love to her in his clown suit. It was very devastating at the time but the depression made me forget it until right now. Oh the horror, the horror.
Reggie left out part of his story. PChild stole his wife at 19:29 PM last night, right before Reggie’s great depression. Reggie remembers it like it was 20 minutes ago. PChild punished Reggie’s wife in Reggie’s own bed. It was very devastating at the time but the depression made me forget it until right now. Oh the horror, the horror.
