Which would you purchase? (light-hearted)

That's paintbrush as in decorating, not fine art btw

Is there a ProCook or Lakeland shop near you? I would think they’d have the garlic thing?

I’m not too good at waiting for things - I’d get both!

Well, your paintbrush is still good to go, and hopefully you won’t need it too much after your recent painting spree. But your garlic roller will probably get plenty of use every week so I would logically pick the roller.

If you buy both..Don't get them mixed up

I think I’d go for the garlic thingy. We eat a lot of garlic!

Garlic roller for me too. You're obviously very good at paintbrush care, you haven't forgotten in 24 years, you're unlikely to change that habit anytime soon.

I'd buy both

I'm going to be very naughty and suggest that you do indeed treat yourself to both and after all that DIY and cooking treat yourself to a tipple too

As there is probably zero chance of me painting a wall, I would definitely go with the garlic crush.

I think I would buy both because I would regret it if I didn't but I don't know what's special about either. I'll go and look them up now.
Thinks how have I got to this stage in my life without them

Just looked them both up. Go for the paintbrush.

I want or need either. I would shop around as prices do vary.

I use ready crushed garlic in a jar these days so I’d get the paintbrush. Someone else would have to deploy it though, as I’m useless at painting! Wallpapering is my skill set.

I'd choose the garlic crusher and employ a painter and decorator 😁

As they are completely different items which serve practical purposes (so not exactly frivolous) and you can afford them both why not buy both? I don't really see the dilemma.

Thanks, I think I'll get the garlic roller as I've wanted that longest, & hope my trusty paintbrush keeps going till I've finished or thrown in the towel, whichever's first!

and I'll have that tipple keepcalm - thanks for the suggestion

Go for it, get both! You only live once and as we always say “there’s no pockets in a shroud!”

Paintbrush every time! I used one of those garlic crusher/roller thingys twice and gave up. Looks good on the tin but an inefficient palaver. If the garlic needs to be finer than chopped, I use one of the brilliant flat graters which I bought from Ocado.

I would be inclined towards the paintbrush. There is nothing worst than painting with a bad brush - all the bristles dropping out and streaks.

I buy ready chopped 'Lazy Garlic' in a jar. Easy and no garlic fingers.

Can't you treat yourself and get both

As I love onions , but never use garlic - although can accept a small amount in food - I would definitely choose the paintbrush.

I really want that paintbrush. I hate getting stray hairs in my painting. Re garlic fingers, if you ‘wash’ your hands with stainless steel it takes away the smell.

Buy garlic paste - it’s not as strong but gives the flavour to the dish.
I use fresh garlic for ‘seasoning’ (frying in hot oil and pouring into the dish) some Indian dishes

Life is short, get both.
