As favorable as I find garlic in many dishes, I would not particularly savor a garlic tainted chocolate bar or garlic in my morning coffee.

You would get used to it. Garlic cannot be denied for simple things such as taste.

Actually, garlic tastes good on most things. Like peanut butter.

It is a mistake to assume that something that tastes good in one dish is therefor good in everything. As someone who cooks and bakes regularly I am discriminating in the use of various flavors and each has a special quality to be appreciated in its proper dish.

Of course it is, this thread didn't seem like much of a place for detailed discussion of the uses of herbs and spices though. I also cook regularly and every meal that I cook usually has various herbs and spices in it. For example, I cooked a Spanish rice dish tonight and used a variety of herbs and spices, I also used a variety of vegetables and made an important discovery about eggplant. Never to buy it again.
