Garlic Lovers Day

Garlic Lovers Day is dedicated to lovers of garlic. Garlic is an onionlike plant that is highly aromatic and has a distinct flavor. It is native to Central Asia and Northeastern Iran, and has long been used as a seasoning and for medicine in Asia, Africa, and in Europe around the Mediterranean Sea. It was used in ancient China, Rome, and Greece, and in the Americas wild garlic was eaten before Europeans arrived. In the United States it was only popular near the Gulf of Mexico and in ethnic neighborhoods in large cities, until the mid-20th century, when its popularity spread.

Garlic is used on breads, and infused in oils that season vegetables, meats, and pastas. It is also used in making things such as bruschetta and pesto. It was used to treat gangrene during World War I and II, and studies have been done to see how it affects cardiovascular health, cancer, and the common cold, but results have been inconclusive. Most garlic is grown overseas, and 90% of the domestic crop is grown in California. There are many types of garlic, most of which are varieties of hardneck or softneck garlic.

How to Observe Garlic Lovers Day

Celebrate the day by making a recipe that includes garlic, or picking up a garlic cookbook. You could also make some garlic infused olive oil. In many areas this is also a good time of year to plant garlic, as it should be done before the fall frost.

National Garlic Day 

If you think you have enough garlic, add more. These flavorful bulbs improve just about every dish you could think to put them in, so get cooking!

Garlic is beloved by a variety of cultures, with many people saying that there can never be too much garlic in a dish or a meal. For those people who love garlic, then garlic day is the perfect day!

National Garlic Day celebrates the history of garlic, in addition to its glorious taste and its incredible health benefits. National Garlic Day helps experts and average people alike to explore the history of this bulb, learning how it came to be one of the most popular flavors in the world.

The appreciation of garlic is never greater than on National Garlic Day!

History of National Garlic Day

Garlic is known as one of the most essential flavoring bulbs that have been used throughout human history. Wild garlic has been traced back to Central Asia more than 5000 years ago. While today garlic is now considered a significant part of Mediterranean cuisine, the ancient Romans weren’t actually massive fans of it, although their soldiers did use it to inspire courage.

The earliest uses of garlic in cooking were by the people of the Medieval and Renaissance times. It was only used in small doses in sauces because it was considered to be a peasant-food since it is technically just a root dug up from the ground. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that garlic was recognized by culinary chefs.

Garlic is now included in many dishes from different cultures, ranging along the Mediterranean, Italian, and French cuisines, as well as a variety of others. In American cuisine, it is thought that food critics such as James Beard and Craig Claiborne popularized garlic during the 20th century.

Garlic is also known for its magical and medicinal properties! These stretch so far as to include the ability to ward off creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and demons, but this may also just imply that the person who has eaten garlic has a bit of bad breath!

In addition to magical powers, garlic is known to have herbal medicinal properties, including being able to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

Today, garlic festivals exist throughout local towns in various places as garlic is used in many dishes all over the world.

So, why not grab a clove or two, peel them, and use them for the next dinner during National Garlic Day!

How to Celebrate National Garlic Day

To celebrate National Garlic Day, head on over to a local grocery store and get some fresh cloves of garlic or minced garlic. Bulbs can be found with the produce, while pre-minced garlic is sometimes available in a jar. Try out some favorite savory recipes and add garlic as a nice touch for a classic solution or a new twist.

Some of the best ways to celebrate National Garlic Day Celebration might include:

Join the Festivities at a Garlic Festival

Head on over to a garlic festival near you and enjoy all the creations people have made with this robust plant. Festivals are held throughout the year in Canada, Turkey, Australia, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other places.

Events often include different garlic-themed culinary treasures (garlic beer or garlic fudge, anyone?), garlic weaving, garlic poem-writing contests, garlic golf, garlic balancing games, and so much more.

Cook with More Garlic

Of course, the simplest way to celebrate garlic is to add more of it in the kitchen. It’s healthy, easily stored, and inexpensive. People on this day might choose to celebrate by using garlic in their recipes, which might include making garlic bread, a tomato sauce or garlic chicken. So buy a garlic press and get started adding it to recipes!

Garlic can also be used to create a homemade cough syrup.

Werewolf, another character which folklore reveals to be kept away by garlic

Garlic Junior, anime fans know this is a fictional demon that appears in Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone

Browned Butter Garlic Smashed Taters

Ingredients

3lbs taters of choice (redskin or Yukon)

8 cloves garlic, peeled

2 sticks of butter

8 oz sour cream

salt and pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for deeper garlic flavor)

Additional garnish or seasoning to taste, such as chives, dill, paprika, old bay, melted butter

Preparation

Wash and scrub your whole potatoes, remove funky spots. Add to a pot and set aside.

In a little sauce pan, add the butter with the garlic cloves. Melt it, and continue to let it cook 3-5 mins (give or take) on medium-low heat, until it bubbles up, develops a slightly nutty aroma, and turns golden brown. Once the butter is browned, use a fork to transfer the garlic cloves to the pot with the potatoes, and set the garlic-infused butter aside.

Add cold water and a good pinch of salt to the garlic and the potatoes (the garlic will be mashed directly into them), and bring to a boil. Cook 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Strain the potatoes and garlic, then add directly back into the pot. Cook on low heat, stirring often, for 2 more minutes, to let any excess water evaporate.

Mash, then add the melted garlic butter and sour cream and continue to mix and mash until you are happy with the smoothness.

Taste and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

*To make the taters a bit looser, add 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock.
