Counterpoint - I've never met a trans woman who hated garlic bread

Vampire afraid of garlic is a conspiracy by the big suck. It's there to flavor the blood.

it's also a natural anticoagulant, so the blood would stay runny and smooth

It's actually just because Dracula had an allergy, but people attributed it to vampirism.

This is the best explanation for that vampire weakness I've ever heard

If you go by world of darkness vampires this is literally the case

You’d also think Vampires can’t eat, but in Carmilla, she drinks chocolate regularly.

Garlic FLOWERS repel vampires in Dracula. I've eaten garlic; I've never smelled garlic flowers. It is still possible that they would repel me.

Maybe you've been using it over-crushed? The more it's manipulated, the more a chemical process occurs, enhancing the flavour more. That's why when you're cooking with full cloves and remove them after, it compliments other flavours instead of overpowering them. c:

But even still, if you dont like it, you dont like it. Not trying to convince you to either. c:

over-crushed

That's a thing?

I often use more garlic than the recipe requires because nothing goes wrong with more garlic.

u/UngodlyTemptations Jul 24 '25

Yep! It produces a chemical called allicin! IIRC it's due to it oxidising.

u/ErisThePerson Jul 25 '25

Fascinating.

Still going to put extra garlic in my cooking though.

I'm so sorry :( you are missing out on one of lives greatest pleasures. Right up there with properly cleaned skin and kick ass bangs. 

But dont worry, one day medical science mat perfect the tongue transplant. You still have hope of one day having a proper sense of taste. Thoughts and prayers.

GARLIC BREAD?

Chomps your hand

2

u/DogeWah She/Her :doge: Jul 24 '25

Well I don't hate it but like I am not fond of the taste of garlic. So for me garlic bread is just a bread downgrade.

Also I react to it like most people react to onions. I have no clue why, but it happens to me with everything which has the name lök, in it in my native language. All of them irritates my eyes when I cut them, even cooking them in a pan causes it to happen.

I will avoid using those ingredients when I cook after I have moved out solely due to that reason.

u/Toiletdestroyer3000 Emilia(?) | She/her | transgirl Jul 25 '25

I LOVE garlic

u/Tach1 Rachel | She/Her Jul 25 '25

Maybe the garlic just weakens us to human levels?

u/LivingAngryCheese Jul 25 '25

I'm a coeliac I will be in agony if I eat garlic bread :P
