Garlic (WAS [rescue] Re: geek vehicles)

[Fogg, James]

A Polish friend introduced me to garlic sandwiches (he implied it was a
Polish thing and since Poland is near Transylvania I might believe it).

Take a slice of bread and slather real butter all over it (completly
covering it).
Place a 1/4 inch layer of fresh chopped garlic on the bread, letting garlic
juice soak the bread.
Place 2 or 3 tomato slices on the thing.
Optional: Cover with another buttered slice of bread.
Hold nose and bite, fight tears, swallow quickly.
They actually are quite tasty and it works better than any nasal
decongestant.

He also introduced me to a sandwich made by soaking bread in hot bacon fat
and salting until white. They are good too and he claimed he learned the
recipe from when his Polish postwar refuge family lived in Siberia and ate
like Russians. This sandwich is best enjoyed with a full box (yes, box) of
cheap red wine. I don't eat these now because I'm vegetarian, but they were
a staple on cold February days. Something about the bacon fat makes that
much salt taste good.
