Why the fuck is this the "standard" garlic when there's

because the less adulterated food is before it gets to your kitchen the better

one is naturally partitioned into individually wrapped single use servings

>>8620674
Single clove garlic is not any more "adulterated" than standard retard, it's just a different kind

>>8620680
Nope. Even if you're a fag cooking one dinner for one you still need at least two cloves. Any decently sized stew calls for 4 or more

how often do you make things that require an entire bulb of garlic

>>8620671
I use jarred garlic!

where i'm from the single-clove garlic is called "chinese garlic" and is a lot more expensive per 100grams than the normal kind

It's pretty easy to "deal with" garlic. Just soak it beforehand or crack it gently with the side of your knife.

Either way, it peels right off.

I also enjoy prepping my meals, it's therapeutic.

because that's how garlic is grown in nature?

you can buy individual bulbs for more money if you want though yeah

because it's way cheaper
thats why you buy the big ones. to not give money away.

also they present the same difficulty to peel of.

want to peel a shitton of garlic? separate the bulbs, store them tightly between 2 metal plates and shake the shit out of it, their skin will wash off.

want to peel only 1 garlic, just crush it slightly with the flat part of a knife and it will crack, pull the skin and it comes off in one piece

now go practice.

shit i just realized i talked like a fag and my shit's all retarded, sorry for the shitty grammar errors and awkward sentence structure :-DDD

What's hard about dealing with garlic?

I have shit knife skills -- properly julienning carrots might as well be magic to me -- and garlic is easy and quick as fuck for me. What are you finding so difficult?
