I'm a big fan of all things garlic, on occasion I could probably be mistaken for a Frenchmen, and I often cook up a batch of garlic butter king prawns. Garlic prawns and fresh bread is hard to beat.
But the problem with cooking up a tasty garlic based dish is having to handle the Garlic, everybody is well aware of my issue with Asparagus and Garlic isn't much better in that regard.
The main issue is crushing of the cloves, all manner of garlicy juice absorbed deep into the very core of my hands and it just wont shift. I've tried everything short of scrubbing my hands with wire wool, I even resorted to asking a Frenchman how he removed the odour of Garlic from his body, and his response was to rub my hands on a Zinc tap which proved to be as effective as the French army (or Lithuanian Air Force) . If you are interested the exact phrasing of the question was 'Hey, you're French! You must know how to get the smell of Garlic off your hands?'.
But finally I have solved the problem with the newest creation from the Advanced Technology Department at The Laboratoire; Garlic_Gloves.
These multi-use gloves manufactured from fabric coated in a custom Garlic repellent film specially developed for use in Garlic_Gloves by experts in the field of odour repellent films at The Laboratoire are guaranteed to repel all Garlic juices.
On sale immediately at a mere £10 for a right Garlic_Glove, £20 for a left Garlic_Glove (because being left handed is wrong and left handed people should be punished for their Satanic ways) or £50 for a matching set containing 1 x Right Garlic_Glove and 1 x Left Garlic_Glove.
But if you're right handed, you'd be holding the knife in your right hand and the garlic in your left...
