If anyone wants to barter, I have just harvested cured garlic for........citrus fruit, pecans unshelled, peanuts unshelled, anything else you grow and we don't have in the upper US, just PM me.
I've been using what I bought for the last few days and so far, been loving it.
This is also peeled and packed at the store and very fresh. I am happy to say there is no odor in my fridge. The plastic container the garlic is packed in is a heavy duty deli type container.
And you are right, that pre-chopped stuff in the jars is vile. Nothing resembling garlic, IMHO.

The jarred stuff I used wasn't nearly as good as fresh, but it certainly wasn't vile. Especially rolling it up in sausage and smoking it for three hours. I want to make sure I stay away from anything vile tasting though. I don't need to be ruining food with something that leaches bad flavor. I might as well use the powdered spice if that's the case.
I always have a jar of Spice World Minced Garlic in the fridge, and I don't find it vile at all. Just very convenient. Use it in sauces, CP stuff, anything calling for garlic. It has a nice long shelf life, just make sure to keep it in the fridge.

That sounds really good! Where did you find it, UB?
