As I cannot eat garlic yet love the stuff I am in the process of experiementing with different foods and an internet search came up with this little gem - asafoetida.  It's a middle-eastern spice and I have lots of information I have gleaned off the web but I dont know anybody who has used it in real cooking to give their view on it.

Anyone?

I hope that you know that this is also called 'Devil's Dung' G???

I haven't used it as I've no trouble eating garlic (even raw) but there seems to be plenty of scope to utilise it in the kitchen;

Yes and many other choice phrases, although it would appear a bit like marmite as in you either love it or hate it as another phrase for it is Food of the God's

Nope, that's normal practice for me on here.  This was a brief moment of clarity...
