I did chew, was afraid I would gag, if I didn't chew them. It was tough though! LOL The kick is that I Love garlic, apparently just not chewing them RAW!...lol
I had a friend tell me to saute them and I told her, I used to do that but I have read it is better raw. LOL Fortunately, my friends love me...even though they are beginning to think I am "out there" (somewhere!). I guess it is not a bad thing though because my life is becoming much better being "out there (or would it be here?!)" :-)!
