We stayed in a lovely house in Cornwall in the summer. I wasn’t put off by the review I’d read before booking which highlighted it didn’t have a garlic press.

What sort of fucking idiot can't improvise with the back of a spoon?
Anyway, what's this about a garlic press?
-
Yeah, the lack of a garlic press really pissed me off.
-
I also thought you are on holiday. Why the fuck would you be pressing garlic.
-
If you cant use a knife to get garlic how you need, you should think about your life choices.
-
We have a garlic press. It's quite good. But we've started using quick garlic instead.
-
We don't have a garlic press in our house (as far as I am aware).It's why we go away so we can experience such luxury items
-
Except to Cornwall obviously
-
I for one am looking forward to Tricky's contribution to this whole garlic press and quick garlic (!) hornet's nest.
-
Quick garlic, fine as a backup. Garlic press, there's something wrong with you if you use one.
Happy to help.
-
Tricky is half correct. A knife is the only way to prepare garlic.
Jarlic is never acceptable.
-
Quick garlic is shit. Place your cleaver flat edge over the garlic and give it some welly.
-
It's better than powdered garlic if you don't have any fresh. Mind you, I always have fresh, and don't have a jar of easy garlic.
I was being nice.
-
I'll grant you jarlic > powder. But there's really no reason excuse for either.
-
Having said that. Minced ginger, in a jar I do use. Also minced garlic, ginger, and chilli, as a starting base for spiced dishes, benefits from some time melding together. Fresh not a particular requirement here (though I always did make from fresh, and jar, when I used it regularly). Shop bought minced garlic and ginger I have used in this context.
Ginger is a bit fucking awkward to prep and use regularly... And keep fresh.

Garlic powder is right for dry rubs
