I’m reminded of this cliché: European writers discuss class but forget about race, North American writers discuss race but forget about class.
I think the French phrase is, "North American and British writers discuss class and race, but forget about the correct ratio of garlic to olive oil"
Surely the French would say butter and not olive oil, right? Maybe olive oil is the Italian version. Although to suggest that Anglos would use any garlic at all seems too kind.
Garlic thrives in Britain, so it's been pretty common in our cooking for the last 1000 years. It's the stuff we import that we don't use.
