Some just don't like garlic or onions. My wife is like that. She will eat live octopus and goat's brains or other more adventurous stuff but just don't like garlic or onions. Sometimes I've tried to hide it in the food but she notices it. Oh well
I had a girlfriend that misread a recipe and made a pot of gazpacho with four whole heads of garlic instead of four segments. It was quite spicy, but I loved her and ate it anyway.
No matter how much I showered and brushed my teeth I stank of garlic for the next couple days.
Yeah raw garlic is rough. I usually roast it when making hummus. But even then, I found powdered garlic to be the best tasting. And I can never add enough roasted or powdered garlic.
