Garlic Fantastic!
Unless you happen to have an absolutley top-notch market nearby that supplies fresh and good quality garlic or you can easily get to the See Woo, then you are very unlikely to find garlic to beat the bulbs in the Delfanti garlic basket from Lidl!
This is easily the best generally available garlic. Once peeled, the flavour, texture and aroma are close to ‘wet’ garlic, and they are unusual in that each bulb is just one big clove, no segments, so it is simple to skin and slice. Baked alongside a roast in its skin (for about 15 - 20 minutes or so) this garllic turns almost sweet and buttery whilst retaining its fresh tang… True garlic lovers can enjoy it raw, because, although it certainly has pungent power, it is fresh and juicy enough to deliver bags (or baskets) of flavour without too much ‘burn’ and no bitter edge at all. This makes it perfect for stir-frying as it only requires a flash-cook to soften its flavour and bring out the fantastic aroma. 
Although the brand is Italian, the Garlic is genuine Chinese produce and this shows through when used in oriental-style recipes. Also ideal for fine grating in salad dressings and mayonnaise. Smell it, peel it, slice it, crush it, dice it, roast it, eat it, love it... because garlic is good for you:
Garlic is thought to be one of the important components that makes the 'mediterranean diet' so healthy. It reputedly lowers cholesterol, supresses harmful bacteria in the digestive tract, contains antioxidants, repells insects and can even be used as an ingredient in a herbal antibiotic ointment... These benefits are attributed to two substances that occur in the garlic bulb: aliin and daillyl sulphides.
