Curly parsley is also great in garlic butter.

And on the garlic note, if you have a meal with a garlic 'overload' (like
I did once with some garlic prawns at a local Chinese restaurant) and need
to socialise with people soon afterwards, a couple sprigs of fresh curly
parsley chewed up in your mouth neutralises the garlic smell.
