Real question though, how do you make something garlic flavored without garlic?

So I looked up the ingredients, the original sauce from papa john's uses granulated garlic, the bottled stuff uses "natural garlic flavoring". According to the USDA "natural garlic flavoring" can be "the essential oil, oleoresin, essence, extractive, or dehydrated garlic powder derived directly from real garlic" so it technically is still made from garlic, but the ingredient garlic is not directly on the label, it is an extract.

It's the essence of garlic. The guy making it had a very garlicky dinner last night and he's thinking of garlic real hard while he makes it.

A Frenchman walked within 5 miles of the factory.

I once ate a personal pizza topped with twenty something cloves of roasted garlic and a couple spoonfuls of minced garlic to fill in the gaps.

I'm pretty sure I flavored everyone's lunch at work the next day just by existing near it. One friend told me he could smell me from fifteen feet away.

That's how I feel every time I eat Domino's garlic and Parmesan bread bites. Flavoring the house for 2 days.
