No Garlic Allowed.

[Cid]

You fat cunt.

Sorry stobes, but you're totally in the wrong here. No-one should be prevented from eating garlic.

*makes note to check friends copy of The Silver Spoon to verify this assertion...*

I'd be interested to see what it says, haven't got a copy myself and have been scouring the interwebs for a reference.

I know a couple of Italian tv chefs have mentioned it, and in Heston Blumenthal's perfect Spaghetti Bolognese he mentioned the rule as well, but that was a precursor to him saying that he was breaking the rule.

The best I've found is a couple of pro chef discussion boards and without fail all the sauce recipes state 'garlic or onion'.
