Where can I find strong tasting garlic? Is it just me or do you find garlic to be very weak?

I'm 21 and I can hardly taste it in things either, I add garlic salt to get the desired taste!

I love garlic and can eat it straight, I recommend using organic garlic, I think you'll find the flavor to be much more to your liking. Also when you crush the garlic, continue to mince it and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the sulfur compounds and enzymes to really kick in and let the taste shine through.

Have fun...

At 65, you should know the secret of good spices, but I'll give it to you anyways...grow your own! Get some garlic sets, plant them, give them TLC and plenty of fertilizer and sunlight...voila, the strongest garlic you'll ever find anywhere.

No, you don't need a garlic press...use a knife, lay it sideways on top of the clove and smash it down with your hand...quickest minced garlic ever.

You could try some Christopher Farms minced garlic in the jars. It's in garlic liquid in there, so the taste permeates throughout. (in the produce section) ... Garlic powder will also add a concentrated garlic taste too. I, also, think fresh garlic just isn't as strong.... Emeril Lagasse says you can never have too much garlic though, so don't be afraid to put LOTS in your food (as long as everyone has some, no one will notice:) .... White and brown onions are the strongest, as long as you aren't buying Maui or Vidalia onions (which are sweet)....

I also find that I have to use twice (at least) as much fresh garlic as a recipe calls for. I actually prefer a double dose of dried minced garlic in stewed or slow cooked recipes.
