I've used the chopped or minced in a jar too - but since they pack it in olive oil, it's not really great for some things. A garlic press is nice if you want it really fine, but a good sharp Sabbatier 8" chef's knife will chop or mince garlic in a heartbeat.

Dave's Insanity Sauce is the shit!!! It'll lite you up better than napalm.... Makes Cholula look like Coca Cola, no lie - 2 drops on a whole chicken tender made me sweat, my eyes water, and chug a beer - and I eat jalapenos and habaneros straight out of the basket or jar, whichever is there (fresh or canned).

Um, nope.

Jar in fridge - Ingredient list: garlic, water, and phosphoric acid.

It's da bomb!

My Henckel 10" chef's delivers any style I please, but I'm lazy - hence the jar...

LL- what brand? I need to look for that - it'd make linguine with white clam and shrimp sauce much easier (and my hands won't smell like garlic for 2 days after chopping 5 cloves...)

I like the little chiles the Thais and some Chinese use.

I do have some habanero sauce somewhere that I like a dash of on some dishes, but too much and you might as well spray your food with 10% OC pepper spray.

Bear in mind that one of the original purposes of spices was to disguise the smell and flavor of undesirable things.

I have had Daves and agree it is fantastic. However I chose Cholula due to the fact it has great flavor and a bit of the heat.

When my wife and I first met we used to throw darts in a league. One of the bars we used to throw at in Weston MO (for those familiar with my neck of the woods) made a salsa using homegrown scotch bonnets and it was kick ass, literally. You would sit there drinking a pint of Boulevard Pale Ale and eating this salsa with sweat pouring off your brow, it just could not be beat. I loved it when we played darts at that place.

Prior to chopping wash your hands with cold water.

After chopping:

Rub your hands with stainless steel under cold water - or -
Wash with Lemon juice - or -
Wash with Baking soda and cold water -

- No more smell.

Sir,
Since I am now single, I have found that although the smell of garlic does repel vampires, it does not, alas, attract women. I can take care of vampires by borrowing NDDs pointy stick with a nail in the end, and not have to work so hard when meeting women by reducing the garlicy aroma about my body.

Thanks for the advice LL, Carolina Kitchen Soap works pretty well too.

Consider it part of the vetting process, Doc.

There are a few new ones I'll need to try and a couple recipes to swipe.

How about this one?

PS:
Hope The size is correct. Took me two nights to try to resize, crop it and stuff.

I'm surprised hispeedmdd hasn't found this thread yet. He makes some of the best Mex/TexMex food to hit your mouth. His salsa (can't disclose the recipe without prior authorization) is the best. When my wife brings it to a party it's always a hit.

Many moons ago after cleaning a mess of fish at about 0100, I reached under the sink and squirted some Gojo hand cleaner (the big orange jug with the pump on top found at most NAPA's etc.) onto my hands. That stuff will take the stink off... well you know. I started my son using it at a young age. He thinks he's cool using "shop soap."

Speaking of blenders... I tripped onto a blender video on youtube the other day that will put a woodchipper to shame. Look up "willitblend.com" and same on youtube. I need one for salsa and margaritas.
