Is Garlic supposed to make you smell?

[postbox]

Love garlic, still remember the intense smell from walking into the Stinking Rose restaurant in San Fran, the entire menu is pretty much based around garlic, quite the whiff!

Just me that thinks 4 cloves isn't that much? (I guess it depends on how big of a portion it went in)

Apparently the white/green stalky bit in the middle of a clove can be removed to reduce the smell effect, but I've never really noticed much difference so maybe it's a myth.

Four cloves is nothing, I cook with garlic constantly and that's a tiny amount.

I'm assuming the OP isn't used to adding much in the way of flavour to his meals.

Next time you go to the Isle of Wight, go get some garlic from the garlic farm there, it's the best I've ever had by a considerable margin.

Also, stop storing garlic in the fridge.

exactly 4 cloves is like a hint of garlic, hardly going to attract any french women from over the channel with that.

Garlics also antibacterial and promotes healing, only in it's raw form though, some chemical is released from chewing it

Wait until you get in the shower and the steam really gets it going.

Can anyone eat a raw onion or garlic clove in here?

Garlic clove, definitely. I've done it. Tasty. The only reason I don't eat garlic every day is because some people don't like the smell.

A whole raw onion, probably. I like raw onion, but I've only ever eaten raw onion cut into pieces and added to stuff. Strong cheese and wholemeal bread, usually. Add a bottle of ale and dine like it's the middle ages
