This is Les Blank's (www.lesblank.com) most gastronomically obsessional film portrait yet. An exhaustive, lip-smacking foray into the history, consumption, cultivation, and culinary and curative powers of allium sativum, the film lingers in the disparate kitchens of Chez Panisse and Flint's Bar-B-Que in Berkeley, and Truckee's paradise for lovers of the stinking rose, La Vieille Maison. There's a piquant stop at the first Gilroy Garlic Festival, pertinent asides by Werner "I'll eat my shoe" Herzog, and performances of Cajun, French Provincial, Flamenco, Swiss Italian, Moroccan and Mexican music." --Robert DiMatteo, San Francisco Bay Guardian

  • I had no idea garlic was so liked by people o:

  • @mirpourj  but itttttsssss bacon!

  • these guys sing like gitanos (gypsies) - their food looks mighty good, too

  • @LazyOtaku its better than good for you. It will preserve your life and in some cases may save your life from serious infections. But don't tell the FDA, it might become illegal for being so good for your health, same reason pot is illegal now. Because it can keep you off pharmaceuticals and away from the doctors offices. So don't tell anyone it is a medicine. Especially not the feds or Pfizer, because they cannot patent it and that pisses them off.

  • @bestamerica one thing you fail to mention.... the reason for the song, and ok, I guess 2, the other thing you failed to mention is why you have a problem with the smell!

  • Man those pigs looked tasty !!!! And it's not cruel !! Life feeds on life!

  • haha and we all ancient egyptians ane beleive that :)

  • POOR PIGGIES...........SO CRUEL.
