Many people hate garlic and would neither like to handle nor even taste it because of its offensive smell. If everyone was eating garlic like Indians and Arabians, no one would be offensive of its odour. However the scent of garlic can be controlled. In eradicating the scent of garlic, one can either rinse his or her mouth with lemon juice or paste with it to guarantee sweetness of breath after using garlic. A little of lemon can also be sipped through the throat into the stomach after garlic meals. When cooking, it is advisable to chop garlic and onions before chopping tomatoes to free one�s finger from its offensive odour. Try as much as possible to take garlic in stew or soup rather than chewing it raw in the mouth since the scent is reduced when put in stew or soup.
