Here's one that an aunt of mine used to always make for parties. It sounded odd to me at first, but being a big-time garlic lover, I really liked it & now make it myself if I know other garlic-lovers will be coming over.
Amounts are all to taste.
One (or more) bricks of real cream cheese (forget the low-fat/no-fat stuff), softened to room temp
As many peeled, minced cloves of garlic you want (or can stand)
As many good-quality dill or sour-dill pickles, chopped, you want
Minced fresh parsley to cover.
Combine cream cheese, minced garlic, & chopped pickles & refrigerate until mixture is just still enough to handle easily. Turn out on plastic or waxed paper & form into a log or brick shape & roll in or gently press on your minced parsley to cover. Chill until serving time, then serve with your favorite sturdy crackers.
