@Hazelmazel

There are 5 of us, 1 garlic bread would do 4. If I do one there's not enough but with 2 there is loads left over.
Same here. Although one of us doesn’t really like it.

@SimonJT

1 adult
It's taken 5 1/2 pages for someone to be honest!

No sharing in this house either!

@RubyandPearl
I have a crumb, and even then I feel quite greedy Grin

HmmSureJan · 26/01/2021 16:38

2 but 17 year old ds will eat one by himself so I always buy a twin pack.

CheesePleaz · 26/01/2021 16:39

Two adults and two children, I usually cut the ends into an extra slice and butter them as bonus extra bits 😁

Viviennemary · 26/01/2021 16:40

Two usually. But that's a generous portion. Between three not quite enough.

stayathomer · 26/01/2021 16:41

There's 6 of us and we'd do one but everyone's a lot less fidgety and antsy when we do twoGrin. Also only do with pasta dishes, put 2 on with a lasagne and you're seen as the best ever!!!

davidsSchitt · 26/01/2021 16:42

4

There are 9 slices so 2 each and a spare end that gets sneaked DS1s way cause I know how much he loves it Smile

Allispretty · 26/01/2021 16:42

3 - me, DP and ds (8)

golddustwomen · 26/01/2021 16:43

One does 4 in our house.

FenellaVelour · 26/01/2021 16:43

2 but it’s often not fully eaten in one go, there are only two of us. I eat two or three slices (always an end bit) and whether it gets finished off depends on how hungry my husband is.

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 26/01/2021 16:43

Two, but only because there's two of us in the house and it wouldn't make another meal so it's just easier to eat the whole thing plus Dp is a fiend for garlic bread. If we had three in the house it would stretch to three.

stayathomer · 26/01/2021 16:48

Last night we had lasagne, chips AND garlic bread
We always have this!! And it's generally a weekend night thing so we'll drink a fizzy drink with it!! Some day over the next few nights after we have rice, fish and water so we can feel we've evened it all outGrin

MrsJBaptiste · 26/01/2021 16:48

@ShutUpAlex

We like to use sourdough bread which we toast, then scrub a garlic clove over the toasted surface and spread some good salted butter on it. Delicious on its own, with some winter salad

So garlic bread then 🤣🤣

Wanky garlic bread. Just get an Asda cheapy garlic baguette FGS.
Sunshineandflipflops · 26/01/2021 16:49

3 but my 13 yr old ds would eat one to himself if I let him (which I don’t, obviously)

LApprentiSorcier · 26/01/2021 16:50

DH won't eat them so I have 1/3 at a time.

LakeGeneva · 26/01/2021 16:50
  1. If we're really hungry I bulk it up with a handful of lentils.
WombatChocolate · 26/01/2021 16:50

I suppose the question is how many slices each? Someone just said there are 9 in the baguette. I'd think 3 slices each is decent portion and 2 each is acceptable if it is a full meal and the garlic bread is just an extra. Bit disappointing to get 2 and 1 is the end though!

Depends if you want to pig out and have a big treat (lots of big eaters woukd manage a whole one) or whether it's just a small side with ana otherwise decent meal.

A full sized naan woukd always be shared between 2 in this house if there was a very small portion of rice. If lots of rice we would share a naan between 3.

WombatChocolate · 26/01/2021 16:53

Only 2 in our house eat it....tends to be with pizza. I break a frozen one in half for them to share - means 2 or 3 slices each. That's with adult eating a full pizza and teen eating half. Would also have lots of carrot sticks etc....seems a decent meal to me. And given most people eat it with other carbs, huge amounts don't seem needed, but I get that it's very moreish

BringPizza · 26/01/2021 16:53

4 and probably some left over, no-one likes the crispy end bits.

cuckooflowers · 26/01/2021 16:53

1! I never share garlic bread

Boltonb · 26/01/2021 16:58

I do love how wanky some people on MN are 😂

These threads always have a couple of total wankers who never disappoint! Thanks @EerieSilence

Although if you don’t make your own sourdough with a mix containing natural Swiss glacier water, and churn your own butter from your organic designer cows, then to be honest, you’re absolutely revolting and may as well be eating actual SHIT anyway

EndoplasmicReticulum · 26/01/2021 16:58

we share 1 between 4, but that is with a big bowl of pasta.
