It used to come in a blue bottle. I have tried all the usual suspects, Loblaws etc.. Thanks Fri Dec 19 13:59:01 -0800 2008 223363 Foodie0423 1 4260956 Wow, now that brings back memories. They used to sell it at Nortown on Eglinton - not sure if they still do. You could call and ask. Fri Dec 19 17:52:00 -0800 2008 4260391 10196 peppermint pate 1 4261054 product was discontinued in 2007, there are alternatives like Pure Base Ready To Spread Garlic Spread but i dont know if it available here or not. Fri Dec 19 18:35:23 -0800 2008 4260391 197505 youdonut 2 4262678 thanks for the info, will try and find it. Sat Dec 20 16:49:52 -0800 2008 4261054 223363 Foodie0423 1 4262234 If dairy isn't a problem and if you insist on not making it yourself, you might try Lactantia Provencal Garlic Butter. Sat Dec 20 12:39:21 -0800 2008 4260391 12072 Googs 2 4262280 Love that stuff, even a little dab on top of a steak can be nice Sat Dec 20 13:04:42 -0800 2008 4262234 115105 duckdown 2 4262675 thank you for the suggestion Googs, unfortunately dairy is a problem. Sat Dec 20 16:49:17 -0800 2008 4262234 223363 Foodie0423 3 4262856 how about margerine garlic spread?? Sat Dec 20 18:26:13 -0800 2008 4262675 197505 youdonut 4 4263049 Most of the margarines on the market contain dairy ingredients. Sat Dec 20 20:37:36 -0800 2008 4262856 232011 Tatai 1 4264350 The main local brand is Derlea. It's sold almost everywhere. (I've never tasted it.) Sun Dec 21 14:05:40 -0800 2008 4260391 23411 embee 1 4264435 Whew, that stuff was rank, real vampire repellent! Lotsa equally odiferous garlic spreads on the market as noted. A friend used to load up a jar of Bob's Big Boy Blue Cheese dressing with a head of microplaned fresh garlic. Talk about staying power...Still, hard to beat with wings and/or fresh cut fries. Sun Dec 21 15:08:16 -0800 2008 4260391 16382 Kagemusha 2 4264653 Wow, that sounds hard core. The only thing I used to use it for was garlic bread. Would mix the spread with olive oil to make a paste. Then cut slice into the french loaf, apply spread and sprinkle paremsian cheese and bake in foil. It's not so much a dairy thing as a no butter or margarine thing. Sun Dec 21 17:12:45 -0800 2008 4264435 223363 Foodie0423 3 4268277 You're not saving any calories or fat with the Lawry's stuff so I don't get it. What's the appeal? Tue Dec 23 05:26:25 -0800 2008 4264653 12072 Googs 4 4268801 The appeal is that it has no butter. Some family members won't eat butter. Nothing to do with the calories. Tue Dec 23 09:02:08 -0800 2008 4268277 223363 Foodie0423 5 4268922 I doubt that the Derlea products contain any butter... Tue Dec 23 09:49:59 -0800 2008 4268801 23411 embee 6 4269691 Thanks for suggestion however I took a look at their website and it looks like it is pretty much just plane chopped garlic. Not the same affect or consistency of the spread. Tue Dec 23 14:03:05 -0800 2008 4268922 223363 Foodie0423 7 4270879 No, they have a spread too. However it contains the other offense you mentioned, margarine. Sounds to me like you need to pull out your food processor and experiment with blends. Wed Dec 24 06:13:23 -0800 2008 4269691 12072 Googs 7 4280468 Derlea Garlic Spread is a great product. I use it all the time on vegetables and bread. Mmmm, try it on a grilled cheese. But yes it is a margarine base though and seems to have whey in the ingredient list(so it has dairy). I believe Lawry's was basically a margarine base also but didn't have the whey. Although correct me if I'm wrong they did have small traces of dairy, their romano cheese they added did contain dairy. Something to try is using roasted garlic as a spread. Either roast your own(I do it in bulk then freeze it) or Derlea also has a nice roasted garlic puree in jars as an easy alternative. If you make your own just puree it with some olive oil, salt, maybe a bit of parsley. Pure Base Ready To Spread is horrid stuff. I bought 3 jars to make it worth while shipping up from the U.S. a few months ago. I still have two un-opened jars if anyone is interested. Its smells like a combination of cooked plastic & cheese and I could describe the taste in a very similar way. Tried it once and then tossed the jar. But seriously if anyone wants to be adventurous I'll ship it for only the postal/shipping cost.

I can't think what it would have been except some horrendous blend of saturated fats and stabilizers if it wasn't dairy-based. Wed Dec 24 07:41:50 -0800 2008 4264653 123543 Pincus 4 4280483 Lawry's Garlic Spread ingredients are as follows - Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oils, Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Garlic Powder, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Mono and Diglycerides, Carrot Oil (for Color), Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (Used to Protect Quality), Garlic Oil. (Sourced from Amazon.com) So correct me if I'm wrong but thats basically margarine, without the whey or dairy, some sugar, and a few extra preservatives?
