Or garlic TBH
I usually just change “cloves” to “heads” and then the recipe is about right.
Lol yeah. Any recipe that calls for a clove or two may as well not have any garlic.
I have never heard “whoa, there’s too much garlic in this”.
I have. Once.
A friend of mine added all the garlic he had into a sauce.
The whole place was garliccy for a few days and the sauce was like liquid garlic…
It was bad. But it was way too much

Some just don’t like garlic or onions. My wife is like that. She will eat live octopus and goat’s brains or other more adventurous stuff but just don’t like garlic or onions. Sometimes I’ve tried to hide it in the food but she notices it. Oh well
I over spice everything, garlic included, but:
I had a girlfriend that misread a recipe and made a pot of gazpacho with four whole heads of garlic instead of four segments. It was quite spicy, but I loved her and ate it anyway.
No matter how much I showered and brushed my teeth I stank of garlic for the next couple days.
It was tasty, though.
Nah, I put too much garlic into Hummus the first time I made it.
There’s definitely such a thing as too much garlic. At least RAW garlic. It was nearly inedible and I quite like garlic.
Too much raw garlic can def bite back
Yeah raw garlic is rough. I usually roast it when making hummus. But even then, I found powdered garlic to be the best tasting. And I can never add enough roasted or powdered garlic.
Quadruple it in most recipes.
Ummm… This is a bit grotesque, so if you don’t like graphical bodily stuff, maybe skip what follows. Anyway, someone gifted me really expensive and rare cheese recently. By that point, I had been eating less animal products, so I had forgotten my body couldn’t really handle dairy…
My friend and I tried it and it was absurdly tasty. We kept on eating, grating, eating, grating… In a single sitting, my friend and I ate the whole thing.
Oh boy, what a mistake. My belly ached. I was bloated. ‘Not a problem’, I thought, ‘tomorrow morning everything will be okay’. My lactase-abundant friend left and I went to sleep.
Middle of the night. I woke up. Nausea. Dizziness. I just had to go go the toilet. I ran. Oh boy, my stomach wasn’t happy with me. At all.
I figured I’d wait and see if this ended up being serious. It could be temporary. Except, I had to go to the toilet again, and again, and again.
“OK, snek_boi, you need electrolytes. You won’t die from lactose intolerance-induced dehydration. I refuse”. So I went to the store, got the electrolytes, and chugged them as I came back. Alright. Time to sleep, again.
I managed to sleep, except when I woke up I still felt nauseous. I went to the bathroom. This time, (TRIGGER WARNING, GROTESQUE) I was pooping radioactive water. It was bright yellow, almost like Powerade or Gatorade or something like that. Wtf.
I took out my phone to see if I should go to the hospital. Turns out, if you eat too much cheese, it goes through a whole process as your body tries to decompose it. The very last step is pooping bile, which is secreted in an attempt to digest the fat in cheese.
Knowing about that whole ‘cheese digestion process’, I guessed I wouldn’t die anytime soon. I just sat on the toilet, drinking my electrolyte solution, contemplating, contemplating my poor decisions, contemplating the wondrous complexity of chemistry and biology, contemplating the fragility of human life and good gut health.
TL;DR: Too much cheese can mess you up.
I’m sure you know this but I felt the need to put this PSA out here. You can buy lactase pills at the pharmacy to mitigate some of the intestional catastrophe from eating dairy
I’m trying to think of any recipe that already includes cheese where more cheese is a bad thing.
The closest I can get is desserts that use things like mascarpone, where if you add extra the filling doesn’t pipe well, and you could just increase the recipe and pipe five gallons into your mouth once you are done with the desserts you’ll serve.
Not that anyone would do such a thing on purpose. But, you know, you add a little too much of one thing, you try to correct and add too much of another, and an hour later the dessert is perfect, but you’re laying on the floor crying because you have a stomach ache and are covered in filling.
And if those stupid food recipes where they pour an industrial sized can of hot cheese whiz over it
I’ve had one dish ever with too much cheese, scrambled eggs. If you get to a 50/50 ratio it just gets this terrible texture
Up until that point, it sounds damn good tho.
Make it into an omelette, and the cheese to egg ratio doesn’t even matter
I once spilled a pot of mac and cheese before I could add the sauce. I saved the cheese powder for the next day. It was then I learned what “dangerously cheesy” truly is. It was bad, but it was good.
Everything’s better with a bit more cheddar
Concur
Ok, hit me with your wildest opinion on this then…
Mild, medium, sharp, or extra sharp.
Then, on top of that do you prefer orange or white?
Now we’re getting deep. That’s the good stuff…
Yes
Extra sharp aged with those crystals in it that crunch when your teeth hit them just right. That’s the stuff
Once tried 10 year aged cheddar. Magnificent.
There is no such thing as too much cheese

Garlic
So underappreciated here in the US.
Sometimes it makes the food too fatty imo
🎵I always want more parmesan but I’m embarrassed!
My cheese hound brother @KickMeElmo probably has something to say to this
There’s a lot of harm actually. Not to you, but:
To lots of cows/sheep/goats that have to be forcibly impregnated by humans or by socially inept bulls/rams/billies that physically/sexually assault said animals, to be forcibly separated from their offspring by humans upon birth to widespread emotional distress, to be forcibly maneuvered into a cage and hooked up to tubes for hours at a time to extract their milk (aka breast milk for baby cows/sheep/goats) for days and weeks and months on end, and to be forcibly killed at an early age by humans to extract all parts of the animals’ corpses for human taste sensation or as protection from the environment (clothing).
Then, lots of humans get harmed during the impregnation/separation/killing steps above either due to the animals retaliating against humans, or due to humans getting injured from the machinery that processes animal corpses, or due to the illnesses that arise from working in environments that process animal corpses, or due to the illnesses that arise from living around environments that process animal corpses.
Lots of harm behind it that you don’t see, and that’s by design.
that’s a funny title because actually there’s a lot of harm involved in the dairy industry
