I can say that i like a lot to eat garlic, but i eat just in the evening, when i am home, and never go out after i take my dinner. But i read that is very good for health too, who eat every day don t catch cold, and is a very good antibiothic too.As medicine...but why not are foods who are very testy with garlic.Do you like to eat garlic? If you like with what you like eat ? Steak? or maybe french frise?

I can't eat garlic straight, or sometimes in things like Garlic Butter. It's too strong, it makes me sick sometimes. I don't know why. I have to eat it in things, usually really watered down with alot of other spices and flavors.
I like it, but it makes me sick. Strange I guess. Bleh.

Garlic is heart healthy along with being an antibiotic. It is great stuff! I use it all the time and never avoid it even when eating out! My hubby is the only one that I have to worry about and since he and our kids eat it we are all good! lol
I add it to alot of things including in my cottage cheese! I just love the stuff and it adds a kick if raw and kinda sweet when roasted.

I love eating garlic. I always have them cook with my other kind of food, or slice them small and mix with fish sauce and lime. whenever I have stir fired vegetable, I always add garlic in to make it more tasty. I dont really eat garlic when Im out, cuz of the smell. (bad breath smell)but If I eat them by accident then I have to drink a lot of soda and chewing gum. :)

I do like the smell of garlic, in fact i always cook with garlic. But i don't like to eat garlic. I can only take garlic bread with my favorite pasta. Maybe i can eat garlic but only fried and not burnt. Burnt garlic will be bitter in taste.
I used to remember my grandmother, where she had a high blood pressure. And she used to chew garlic because she said it lowers her blood pressure. Anyway, it is really healthy to eat garlic.
Every time i saute garlic, it is really aromatic and it savors the dish i always cook. Most of us do like to include garlic when we cook food. But the best smell of garlic will always be in Chicken Adobo, this is the recipe that my hubby will always like to eat when i cook.

Hi icesmile, I love garlic and eat a lot of it. Since I live alone it causes no problem. I do not eat it the day before I have an appointment with someone.
To get the maximum benefit you should add it raw to salads or add to whatever you are cooking no more than 5 minutes before the dish will be ready. You can also make your own garlic bread by mixing finely chopped garlic with butter or olive oil and spreading it on slices of baguette. It can then be put under the grill or laid on a tinfoil tray on the barbecue. Lovely!

I love garlic but to much gives me stomach ache. I love extra garlic on my garlic bread, in my sauce. I had fryed chicken with garlic all over it. It was the best chicken I have ever had. I had this at a restaurant in Puerto Rico. The smell of garlic, green pepper and onions frying in a pan the best smell ever. I'm getting hungry.

I tend to try not to eat garlic when I am going to go to work or if I am doing anything social. But I do agree and have read the same as well. Garlic has many health benefits that should be taken advantage of but on the downside it is the taste and the smell that comes afterwards from consuming it. I do however mash garlic and mix it with yogurt so the taste and the smell isn't too strong and it is eatable. I would love to hear of any other ways that you guys do or can come up with of eating garlic. =)

Neither... I just eat it any way.
And I am sure, you get tummy aches only if you eat quite a lot of garlic a day. As far a breath issues are concerned, just use some mouth freshner after or brush. Why avoid the good things in life because they have a little glicth!!
lol peace!!

i use garlic but not too much, i avoid using too much because my doctor said that garlic can increase my anger, i think he was correct because since i eased up on garlic i tend to be more calm than before, it was garlic that made me visit the doctor in the first place because it hurts my stomach real bad and the doctor sid i have excess acid in my stomach.
