Some communities have standards. We do not.
Have fun posting!
Welcome to loweffortmemes! This is your space for:
- Posting memes that took you 30 seconds to make
- Sharing weird, niche, or confusing content that doesn't fit elsewhere
- Embracing the beautiful art of minimal effort, maximum vibes
- Whatever random stuff makes you laugh (high effort memes welcome too!)
Community Guidelines:
-
No standards, but we still have rules: Just because we accept low-effort content doesn't mean anything goes. Normal instance rules still apply- don't spread hate, be civil to others, etc.
-
All memes are good memes: That meme you made in MS Paint? That oddly specific joke about your niche hobby? That high-effort masterpiece? That thing other communities thought was "too low quality"? All perfect!
-
Don't kill the vibe: We're here to laugh at dumb stuff together, so keep things chill and fun.
Let's celebrate the fine art of doing the bare minimum and somehow making it work (but also the maximum if that's your thing)!
TLDR: meme gud

I don't see which country this post is referring to, so I'm gonna assume it's about New Zealand.
Sorry, I live in Germany and assumed everyone knows
I think you meant required. Oh half an onion and two cloves? No sir whole onion 4 cloves.
Got one.....
The One Clove(tm)
Elephant garlic typically has a more muted garlic flavor.
Yeah I was gonna say, this is big even for elephant garlic but it's fairly widely available. The one time I tried it though, it tasted more onion-y than garlic-y to me, like a shallot or something
They really shine for things you want big pieces of garlic but not to be power blasted by garlic flavor. Like pico de gallo, or my favorite is sliced and shallow fried to turn them into chips
One time my SO was supposed to put 1.5 cloves in lasagna. They didn't know the difference between a clove and a bulb.
We had to order dominos when our guests arrived.
Tomato tomato
(I think that works better when spoken haha)
Honestly the ultra garlic supreme lasagna would be almost preferable to Domino's. If they'd said Little Caesars I'd actually eat the pasta al garlic.
I didn't mind it but I was the only one.
That's only about twice the garlic I put in a baked ziti (lazy girl's lasagna)
It sounds like they made a perfectly normal lasagna. Were your guests vampires who can only pretend to eat pizza-shaped cardboard?
They always give a lower amount of garlic in the recipes, you should grab a third clove just to be safe
In my kitchen 1 clove = 1 bulb.
gotta keep away the vampires!
