Garlic Knots?
So, I'm sitting there watching Supernatural (Season 3, episode 3) and one of the side characters is trying to convince another to go to a particular restaurant. He remarks, "They have garlic knots!"
Woah..wait, what? What's a Garlic Knot? At first I'm like ...knot? naught? not? I figured knot, and I was right. I did a google search, came up with some recipes and some commentary on them. It seems that those people who have had a garlic knot just flat love them.
From what I gather, they are dense slightly leavened bread (think soft pretzel maybe?) brushed with a garlic glaze. Another food blog, Smells Like Home, has a great writeup on them.
So now I'm keen to try a garlic knot.
This also gets me thinking, maybe I need to brush up on my knowledge of semi-obscure regional foods. Speaking of which, now I have a craving for a doughboy.
Will you be making your own, or attempting to find them someplace to try them? A new Italian place near us gives you a pile of garlic knots instead of garlic bread to go with their pasta dishes. Yum!
