Garlic – Mythology
October 13, 2010 No CommentsThe power of garlic has always been associated with both good and evil. Strings of garlic are always seen in traditional vampire movies as folklore considers garlic a powerful ward against vampires demons and werewolves.
By contrast – modern vampires consider garlic to be merely in bad taste! 
From the pages of our namesake Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol. 1 this is Garlic Soup served with bread and cheese.
In India garlic is often considered to stimulate one’s sexual desires so it is generally avoided in foods used for religious activities. The smell of garlic on the breath is considered inappropriate when going to a mosque. There is even a Biblical myth that reports garlic growing in the left footprints of Satan after he left the Garden of Eden (onions grew in the right footprints).
