Cheese?[edit]

I added the fact tag to thise cheese thing not because I doubt it's true but because I wonder if it's predominantly an American thing. From a Google search, there are a lot of recipes with cheese but they tend to be American. While I'm sure it exists, I don't think it's so popular here in NZ Nil Einne 01:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to cheesy garlic bread, I think it's worthy especially as pizza chains such as Dominos (Australia) and I am sure other type chains make a cheesy garlic bread. But in regards to the statement A light layer of freshly-grated parmesan on top of the mozzarella adds an extra boost of flavor...I think it is a POV statement and not very notable. --Mikecraig 02:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Garlic Bread with cheese is quite common in the UK! There are also other variations (my faveourite being Garlic Bread with Spicy Tomato (spicy tomato bread)). And garlic bread with pesto.

Talking with my Scicilian Grandad he believes all these to be just variations of things he ate as a kid (including variations of pizza ect) and basic things like bread with herbs/ salt/ oil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.44.246 (talk) 19:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Western tastes"[edit]

What a strange turn of phrase! I suppose Britain, Canada, and the USA, which I guess are the major "garlic bread" markets, are indeed west of Italy.205.212.73.184 06:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Development of forzen garlic bread[edit]

If a neutral citation can be given, I shall remove the reference to the company. The idea that any one company can lay claim to being the first in the world to do something so simple is a bit dubious. Mtaylor848 (talk) 16:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Garlic Bread

Cult Following[edit]

Hey, y'all! I didn't want to make this edit because I'm not good with larger edits and it felt too informal (although I may be wrong), so I'll run it through with y'all. Should we make a section on the page about garlic bread's cult following? While it may be slightly too "much" for the page, too little information to report anything on, and isn't the largest cult following, I'd still find it interesting if the section was added. I'm pretty sure there is a small Instagram page, a medium-size subreddit, and also a Tik Tok account (although I'm not sure if it was named that just as a joke), to start off with good places to research. To restate my question, should the cult following section be made or ignored due to bad reasoning? Thanks in advance,

Presumptuous nonsense[edit]

Garlic bread can not be found in Italy, as Italian cuisine uses garlic parsimoniously and the bread at the table is usually eaten plain.

You can find garlic bread everywhere in Italy. Citation to this silly claim, please. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 12:36, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It really is worded like bringing garlic and bread together is physically impossible there, even when it's stated 2 lines before that it's "an Italian-American dish". No idea why.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what a good source for what Italians do with garlic bread would be. The ones I found only really state that it's not too popular there, that Italians are more concerned with bruschetta, or that it "doesn't exist in real Italian cuisine". Maybe that's what the original writer meant to say, but just didn't word it properly. cogsan (talk) 13:49, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
