In defense of jarred garlic: Do we have to show such disdain for convenience foods?
Yes, you read that right. I believe that jarred garlic has been unfairly maligned. There are few food products that inspire such intense distaste — do a Google search for “jarred garlic,” and you’ll be subjected to post after post and article after article lamenting jarred garlic and everything it stands for. It’s lazy! They all seem to scream. Just mince your own garlic!
But the absolutely avid jarred garlic hate we all face on at least a weekly basis on the internet has to stop. It makes me think that some of you have never been forced to feed yourself when you’re sick, or depressed, or just busy handling life. There was a time in my life, when I was in college, that I felt constantly stressed. Working, taking classes and trying to take care of myself was a challenge I didn’t yet feel mature enough to take on. And I was, frankly, depressed. Managing to feed myself at all felt like a huge accomplishment, especially considering the fact that I didn’t have the funds to order in or buy a ton of pre-made food from the grocery store. During this time, jarred garlic was a staple for me.
