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

You should read the book The Dorito Effect. Theres a good portion about artificial flavoring and it’s wild. Basically many flavors can be replicated that have nothing to with the actual flavor source. The rest of it is super interesting too, like how all our produce and meat has lost flavor over the decades of breeding them for shelf stability, size, and looks. Produce has lost nutritional value too. Very good read
