Many thanks for your kind offer Stephen, much appreciated. However, I still have several tins left from a batch I bought off another angler. One day, I will find some in a supermarket like all these posters do...but I won't hold my breath until I do
As for adding your own garlic, that's all a bit of a mystery. Many moons ago my mates and I fared well with garlic essential oil in boilies, adding it to our liquids before mixing (carp fishing I fear
). However, liquidising actual cloves of garlic and using in the same way failed miserably. Incidentally, did really well with a high quality squid powder...but again, not with liquidised squid itself (Missus got really unnecessary with me for liquidising fresh squid in her blender, so good job it didn't work really
)
Some claim to do well with adding all sorts of garlic salts/purées/powders/liquidised fresh and so on added to their spam, but I have not found any of it to work as well as the original 'tinned with it in'
Perhaps it's just me
Thanks again Stephen, top angling mate.
Cheers, Dave.
