You’re supposed to add it to food not just eat it by itself

But not odorless.

I tend to use sea salt, but that reeks of iodine all by its natural self.

Is it like how some people can’t taste the difference between sugar and other artificial sweeteners?

Actually, being a shitty cook would mean you can’t make anything good with those ingredients.

While it does work, it’s the form of garlic that is the most destructive to the flavor compounds in garlic. Hence most cooks who know something about garlic, avoid it. Garlic powder and flakes are the most effective preserved forms of it.

But even with that this “meme” doesn’t have a leg to stand on. You can make do with pre-minced garlic, though you’ll end up with a lot more of it in your dish to get the same taste.

Tbf minced garlic isn’t great imo - granulated garlic works much better but this is some weird shade to be throwing around

… I’m deeply offended. You can still make delicious food with those ingredients.

Sure. But buying and storing fresh fruit just to juice occasionally seems… Bougie AF. Like meal planning 🤣

Depends on how you weight the (dis-)advantages.

My bottle of direct lemon juice can sit in my fridge for months without going bad. Also I don’t have to use the whole bottle at once or at least half of it, like you have to with fresh lemons. And when used in cooked or baked dishes, the difference in aroma isn’t worth the hassle.
