I will say that once I got my first container of asafoetida, I found myself rethinking how I used garlic. I had that described to me as "an Indian garlic alternative" and it's super not that but the way it pumps up every other spice made me literally sit down and reconsider how I use fragrant spices in general - which turned into realizing half the dishes I was making, I was drowning out the flavors I wanted and replacing them with nothing but garlic/chilies/etc. Now I'm still using garlic all the fuckin' time, but if I'm not loving up a batch of pickles I'm at least doing it intentionally as an assisting flavor. Or I'm just straight up making something like garlic soup.
