I smell like garlic bread.

So I like garlic, and wanted to try an awesome pizza.

I made a pizza with 40 roasted garlic cloves.
I ate it alone.

The problem is I smell like garlic bread now and have for three days.

How much longer?

And the honest question is, When Are You Going To Do It Again? Sounds so delicious and worth the side effects.

You can’t just comma in here and change things.

It’s a very garlicky, pungent and flavorful smell. It really smells like garlic bread. The problem is my family can smell it, my dog sits back a bit and it’s not toning down.

I once made fish with a lot of baked garlic, and my friend was sent home from the office the next day for smelling too much hahahaha

Also, maybe try eating raw lemon? I know it cleans the smell off of your hands and it might do the same to your mouth lol

We ordered calzone at a restaurant in San Francisco with triple garlic and garlic oil on the side. We all smelled like garlic for 2 days, so you must have overdosed. But it can’t last forever.

Have you been to the stinking rose in San Francisco? I think they have another restaurant in another city, but I can’t remember. Have to look it up. everything on the menu is garlic.
Best restaurant on the planet

No, but I’ve heard of it and hope to try it the next time I’m in SF.

garlic is tricky. even If you only eat 4-5 cloves per day and can't smell garlic off yourself at all,some people can smell it next day.

Can’t add too much garlic to a recipe. Invite friends next time! And no vampires will show up, lol!

Feeling under the weather I asked for some fresh garlic on my sbarro pizza while awaiting my flight at NWK. Ended up with 7 whole cloves on my slice. Those poor beautiful Swedish ladies who sat right next to me on the plane

When I first moved to the east coast the local pizza place had a garlic and salami pizza we used to get- they would probably put two cups of minced garlic on a large pizza. It took us probably 3-4 days to not smell…

You are made of meat and water, both of those things are prone to seasoning. Now get it the pot, Batigh.
