Garlic'd

There is an all-pervading smell of petrol and heavily garlic’d cooking, for these small families are still eating the minestra verde and maccaroni as prepared by Emma’s cook, Mariana.

In Jack’s opinion Stephen was little better than a slut: his papers, odd bits of dry, garlic’d bread, his razors and small-clothes lay on and about his private table in a miserable squalor; and from the appearance of the grizzled wig that was now acting as a tea-cosy for his milk-saucepan, it was clear that he had breakfasted on marmalade.

At the Nugent tribal dinnertable we think of fastfood as a mallard or quail, garlic’d and buttered to perfection.
