Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers is a 1980 documentary film by Les Blank.It is, as one might guess from the title, a love letter to "the stinking rose", garlic. Blank spends the documentary interviewing various garlic enthusiasts and films them preparing various garlic dishes. We see a young man convinced garlic saved him from dysentery, a young Irish-American woman who talks about how she had to hide her garlic enthusiasm from her mother, a Spaniard who recalls how desperately hungry people in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War ate garlic and tomatoes and nothing else, and many other fans of garlic. Garlic's supposed powers as a natural curative are discussed. The growing and harvesting of garlic is depicted. Scenes are filmed at a restaurant that puts garlic in every single dish as well as the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival (Gilroy, CA).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Cameo | |
| Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Werner Herzog! Herzog is seen briefly when Blank asks why he didn't include garlic as a vampire repellent in his remake of Nosferatu. Herzog talks a little bit about vampire lore, admits that garlic is mentioned in Bram Stoker's novel, then, obviously mystified, says "Why do you ask this question?" | |
