If I make something like Scallops and Linguine, I use a whole bulb for flavor . . and that's just a two-person meal with no leftovers . NOT one or two cloves . . . I am talking a full bulb with all the little cloves in it . . complete . Peeled, of course!	SurferJoe46 (51)

Some of us even sprinkle a little porridge on our garlic for breakfast .	plod (107)

Personally I would prefer the flavour of the scallops to the garlic (why ruin an already good flavour?) - that is assuming you are using the genuine article with the orange tongue Joe.	andrew93 (249)
627278	2008-01-04 00:16:00	I like garlic in my chop suey . That was until that fateful day I died, now I am the undead I tend to stay away from garlic and crosses . The sunlight doesnt do much for me either . . . . . *flys away in a puff of smoke* Its too much when you fart too much lol	rob_on_guitar (4196)

(Phew!) Just the same as any other food, you can have too much but I have yet to reach that stage. Garlic, at one stage in NZ, was similar to sour cream and decent wine - "foreign muck!" Those were the days of meat and two veg. We are so fortunate to have many people from so many different countries bringing us new foods to tempt our palates.	Roscoe (6288)

My Lamb roast has nearly finished cooking and has embedded garlic. Do you want to lose the flavour of the original ingredients? That was why curry was important in India as the meat was a little off some years back. In my view any herb, spice is supposed to enhance flavour rather than detract from the meal as a whole. Garlic has its place as does Curry and I use both in moderate amounts. I went to a place where I was served a curry that was rather hot. I was a little surprised the plate did not melt. Do you put garlic in your wine glass before adding a nice wine? Too much garlic is where the other person(s) complain. Use a whole teaspoon of cayenne pepper in your next meal maybe. Have water on tap!	Sweep (90)
