Now please, do not misunderstand me, I love garlic. But all things in moderation. Like dice and mutton, garlic is an integral part of every meal in Yanchi. You might be served a bowl of noodles, or a plate of meat and a bowl of rice. With those things, a bulb of garlic is tossed onto the table, sometimes on a plate, most times not. As you eat, you crush the garlic against the table in order to peel it. Peeled, between bites of food, you take bites of raw garlic. It's a bit much, even for me. Some people eat 2 or 3 cloves a meal. At least it keeps those mosquitos away.
