Badger, I'm still trying to figure out raw garlic???? Haven't yet had a dish with raw garlic.

I can think of a few things I make where the garlic is raw. I have a batch of basil and spinach pesto in the fridge with raw garlic. Tapenades and hummus often have raw garlic. I make a oil and vinegar dressing with raw garlic, too. I'm sure I'm forgetting others.

I read recently in an issue of Cook's Illustrated that there are ways to chop garlic that lessen its intensity. Of course, I can't remember what those ways are off the top of my head. I'll have to look for it when I get home.

Raw garlic is served in Korean restaurants. It's part of the bonchon (I don't know if I'm anglicizing that right) I think.

I don't know if you are meant to toss it on the grill with the barbecue -- I know some people eat it raw.
