Finely chopped garlic is usually a mainstay in banquet style Chinese restaurants. I've recently been introduced to an unorthodox but delectable method of extreme garlic consumption from a dining companion. He is truly the undisputed sifu of garlic consumption - the man eats bowlfuls of garlic and I don't mean the sauce sized ones...I mean the soup sized ones.

The art of garlic consumption applies to the peanuts Chinese restaurants serve when everyone is seated. Before I was enlightened by the ways of the garlic, I used to eat the salted peanuts as is...just like everyone else. I have discovered a innovative method of peanut enjoyment via excessive garlic consumption and I've never looked back. I feel that it's my duty to pass on the gastronomic garlic kung fu before all knowledge of this art is lost. ;)

The first thing to do is to fill the sauce bowl with garlic. The key to a successful mixture is to pile the finely chopped garlic into the sauce bowl. As a reference, please crosscheck the first picture with this one. I took all that garlic. It should look like a mountain (or at least a small hill) by the time you're done.

The garlic mound should then be doused with vinegar. It's the one of the far right. Garlic mountains are always made with vinegar. Soy sauce is a big no-no. Go with the vinegar love.

The next step is to soak (marinate) several peanuts in the garlic-vinegar concoction for at least several minutes.

The peanuts in garlic are ready to eat after that. It is extremely essential that chopsticks are used. Each peanut should be scooped up with an excessive amount of garlic and the whole portion should be chewed thoroughly to allow the garlic flavors to propagate through the palate.
Trust me, it's good. I'm an extreme garlic convert now. ;)

It also helps to pass the time before the main courses arrive...
