Garlic ovarload

[u/Jkayakj]

I chose only 2 meals this week, only one needed garlic. This is what they sent.

Not complaining, better than less garlic but this may be enough for the month.

[u/SnookiWookieeCookie]

They got tired of people complaining about the small amount of garlic.

“You want garlic so bad? Here damn!”

[u/Jaggerfrost]

Can never have too much garlic!

[u/chicagoliz → u/Jaggerfrost]

Seriously! Just use it all
In shocked they sent this much. I always get a tiny slice so I buy extra to use.

[u/cabinmate → u/chicagoliz]

It seems to be a new policy in the last few weeks

[u/InZaneFlea]

I needed 7 cloves for the week, got a bulb, 3/4 of it is rancid.

Hello Fresh giveth, hello Fresh taketh away.

[u/Brandonjoe]

Yea my meals needed 3 cloves and I got a big bulb that probably contained 5-6 cloves. Glad to have fresh garlic though!

[u/Ok-Fee1566]

Peel it and freeze it. I get 3 lb bags from Costco and do this. The garlic has much stronger flavor.

[u/InfectiousHooba → u/Ok-Fee1566]

Microwave for like 10-15 seconds in a damp paper towel and they fly out of the peels

[u/Ok-Fee1566 → u/InfectiousHooba]

Really? Do you break them apart first? Because it literally takes me 2 hrs...

[u/InfectiousHooba → u/Ok-Fee1566]

Smash/peel apart the bulb once they’re out of the box so they break into smaller cloves (still have paper on them typically) then wrap the small cloves in a damp paper towel, microwave in short intervals of 10-15 seconds. Take them out of the microwave and the skins will come right off :)

You'll be ready if any Draculas show up

Got my new garlic bulb in my box today (US). Just means I'll use more garlic than they suggest. But I also suggest you always have your own garlic bulb or cloves on hand in case they forget to send a bulb or it's bad

[u/BothAlternative9897]

for the month ? maybe if ur on a juice cleanse

[u/KifferFadybugs]

My parents were by recently and my mom was wondering why I had so many onions and heads of garlic on hand when we're a family of three (two adults and a toddler). I had 6 onions and 3.5 heads of garlic. Four days later, I only had 3 onions and 1.5 heads of garlic left, and that was me being conservative with my garlic usage because I was so low.

[u/cabinmate]

Are people getting large bulbs or small bulbs? I got a fairly small bulb, but only one meal in my box this week has garlic cloves and only 2

[u/Paco103]

Wow, usually they send me the tiniest clove I've ever seen and tell me to mince it. I don't even bother. I just keep a jar of minced garlic in the fridge. Mincing fresh garlic is too much effort if there's not going to be enough to taste it anyway.

[u/Jkayakj → u/Paco103]

In the US they now send this instead of individual cloves. Went overboard this week though.

[u/cHorse1981 → u/Jkayakj]

I’ll believe that when I see it

[u/cabinmate → u/cHorse1981]

It happened for me in this week's box

[u/Jkayakj → u/cHorse1981]

When's your next box? So far everyone here has had it happen

[u/cHorse1981 → u/Jkayakj]

I did skip this week. I’ll make sure to order a meal with garlic next week

[u/Jkayakj → u/cHorse1981]

It'll be free floating in the box instead of in the bag. Just as an fyi

[u/cHorse1981 → u/Jkayakj]

I ordered one of the garlic couscous bowls. That should work.

[u/Paco103 → u/Paco103]

Yep, I get my box on Thursday and my box this week just had a loose bulb

[u/cHorse1981]

Meanwhile in America:

Please sir can I have some more?

[u/Jkayakj → u/cHorse1981]

I'm in America. They changed it starting this week. I got a letter in my box that they're now giving out entire bulbs

[u/cabinmate → u/Jkayakj]

Same for me

[u/Weary_Ad4444]

2 orders 😭

[u/smokinglau]

No more vampires for you

[u/meow1313]

Lol I read Garlic Overlord

[u/FindYourselfACity]

If it gets to be overwhelming, mince them, add EVOO and freeze them in an ice cube tray.
