Peasant homes in Eastern Europe didn't have all that garlic hanging up just the keep the vampires away, they regularly used it as a seasoning - as we still do today. I won't even go into the cardiovascular health benefits of garlic. We just say "If it was good enough for great great grandma, it's good enough for me" and your halitosis will scare the approaching vampire away!
The clove of garlic to the right has been broken off the bulb on the left.
Cloves can be used whole, cut into pieces, crushed, rubbed or squeezed for the juice. Peel off the dry layers before use. Garlic has been around for a very long time. The ancient Egyptians used garlic, as did the Greeks & Romans.
My favorite way to prepare garlic is to dice it or slice it thin and saute in butter. Goes with everything.
