People who do this are disgusting. It is ruining the food, it's exactly like the people who let all the ice melt in a drink.
Edit: I should clarify, I don't care if you do it to your own food. But don't try to feed me that swill. So many nice dinners in my life have been ruined by people with no sense of taste. 😂
Edit 2: ok upon reflection, I'm sorry for insulting garlic enthusiasts. Enjoy your life xoxo
You and I might as well be worst enemies, then. You can never have enough garlic in the dish, and I let the ice melt because I want more fluids, and chewing on ice is unsatisfying and annoying.
FWIW I mostly do this with tea and juice. Never with carbonated beverages. I prefer them straight out of the fountain/fridge with no ice at all, cause melted ice in soda ruins the taste.
I don't understand ice in drinks at all. It displaces what I want (a delicious cold beverage) with what I don't want (blocks of ice and watered-down drink).
Cold brewed coffee: delicious. Iced coffee: no thanks!
Well the people who aren't Toes in this thread all enjoy more garlic than recipes suggest. So they have a different preference of flavour to Toes. Unless that's what you were trying to imply?
