One thing to beware of with Caesar Salad; if you, or anyone you’re feeding, is allergic to seafood, please be aware that Caesar dressing usually contains it (anchovies). Same with Worcestershire sauce. These two items cause seafood-allergic people frequent problems because many, including food servers, don’t realize they contain seafood.
As for fresh garlic, I love it. I’m a huge fan of tzatziki sauce, garlic salsa, and a bunch of other things with fresh garlic. I was a fan long before I had any idea it was healthy.
“a garlic-containing meal (100 g white bread, 15 g butter, and 5 g raw, crushed garlic)”
Two out of three ain’t bad. Replace the bread with fatty fish and they’d have something great.
They’ve been trying for years to find some health benefit for garlic and coming up short pretty much every time. If it was as healthful as people extoll, I’d think it’d be easier to find a study showing actual benefits. I’ll take this the way I take all nutrition studies–with extra salt.
Take this for nothing, but recently I’ve started eating a raw clove of garlic sometimes, and it was weird: it made my mouth burn and my eyes water but it felt good in my stomach. Don’t know why. Didn’t have as much acid reflux, and nobody came over and bothered me with stupid questions. Left me alone all night.
In my opinion there’s no such thing as too much garlic.
When I used to eat bread, I used to take a whole garlic bulb, cut off the top to expose the cloves, put a drop or two of olive oil on the top, nuke the bulb for 30 seconds……
and then spread the easily spreadable garlic paste on the bread.
Heaven.
Like anything else you can overdo the garlic use. But I find it tasty and if there are also health benefits so much the better.
This link talks about garlic and five other superfoods we already have in our pantry. No need for the expensive berry from Shang-ri-la.

I like garlic when reasonably cooked. Raw I find nasty tasting.
Let it sit for an hour in olive oil. It mellows.
There’s a simple reason why garlic is shown to reduce colds:
Eat enough and no one will get close enough to pass their germs.
