@Link-Hero - Garlic and onions are the start of any good dish. I just thought it was weird to see someone bite into a raw onion like an apple. How do you eat raw ketchup when you eat it? With a spoon? Straight out of the bottle when nobody is looking?
@bimmy-lee The only way to eat raw "ketchup" is to squeeze out some fresh tomatoes in a bowl, add some sugar and vinegar and some spices, mix it all together and then consume that.
Ketchup by its very definition is already cooked and processed, so no matter how cold it is, it will never be raw, which most of us should intellectually already know...
On a side note: might be just a suspicion, but I'm also beginning to think that some people are confusing the word raw with the word plain...
@Link-Hero Well, then the answer still remains the same: you've been able to read then, that I've eaten roasted cloves, whole. Albeit as a dish with some other ingredients, but the cloves were the main ingredient.
As for the ketchup: from a bottle isn't raw, my friend.

@ThanosReXXX - This ketchup situation is complex. I saw you were handling the raw issue, so I decided to tackle the mode of transport issue. How the ketchup got from bottle to mouth without the use of an edible vehicle.
@Link-Hero - Ha! Thanks for answering. I was curious. There’s only a few options to get plain ketchup to your mouth when it’s not loaded on an edible object. Somehow, blasting it straight from the bottle seems less barbaric than using fingers or a spoon. Not sure my throat would allow me to swallow a mouthful of any condiment, but I’m a texture person.
@bimmy-lee@Link-Hero Here you go, garlic lovers...
I'll also save you an extra click to the channel, so here's the description underneath the video:

The Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills has over 50 garlic-infused dishes, including mussels and mashed potatoes. Even their chardonnay wine is flavored with garlic! The restaurant goes through 50 tons of garlic each year. If you're not in LA, there's also a location in San Francisco.
And if you want more food for your exquisite palates, then you can find the website from Food Insider, the makers of this video, right here: https://thisisinsider.com

@ThanosReXXX - That’s my best odds of getting it down plain, shooting it straight into my stomach. That shrimp & clam plate in the video actually made my stomach growl. It was almost too much to take.
@Link-Hero Who ARE these (decidedly uninformed) people? Everybody knows that the word they're looking for, is plain...
(just kidding, obviously)
@bimmy-lee When I decided to look up that restaurant for you and @Link-Hero, I was once again faced with YouTube's weird search, match and suggest algorithms, although this time, it actually made sense for once:
After all: how else would you be able to easily burp up all those wonderful garlic flavors?

The only way to truly make the 1886 coca cola drink is to time travel back to 1886. Speaking of which, I could drink any kind of flavored drink right about now, somehow spent 2 hours on a treadmill. The other people on the treadmill were listening to music on their mobile devices, meanwhile, I was watching cartoons.
I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!
I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
@SheldonRandoms Meh, semantics. Obviously, the title is shorter than the actual explanation:
"We're going to make Coca Cola according to the original recipe from 1886"
Well, original: minus the coca leaves extract, because that is like, forbidden, you know...
I love a big, fizzling glass of coke on ice, though I try to save it for special occasions. That stuff is bad for me, unlike beer. It was funny when he said the sugar was the real killer in the recipe. My dad tried to make old fashioned root beer a couple times when I was young. It tasted like tea with dirt in it.
Last night I had one of the most exhilarating moments of my life. I pressed the button on my Wii Fit meter to check my numbers for the day (which I do fairly often, but not every day) and saw that my kcal total was exactly 10% of my steps total.
I removed the meter from my waist and reached for my phone to take a picture, but tragically, by the time I had done so, the kcal total had updated and increased by another 4 kcal, so the fantastically exciting moment was lost forever.
The shape of that thing reminds me of the Pokewalker accessory that shipped with Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver.
Drinking soda is an extreme rarity for me anymore. I wanna avoid false teeth as long as possible. There's a reason Coke is used to clean car batteries....
Also, the garlic ice cream a couple pages back....I'd try it but probably wouldn't like it. I like garlic, but that would probably be past my limit. XD

Well, of course you gotta clean the dirt off of the roots, before you try and make a drink from them...
@Tyranexx I've been drinking soda nearly all my life, and the only difference between then and now, is that I spike my Coca Cola with a fifth of Bacardi rum...
While any kind of soda is bad for your teeth (Cola isn't any worse than the others, FYI), so is eating candy, cookies, cakes, deserts, and hundreds of different kinds of processed foods which also contain WAY too much sugar. The key is moderation and keeping your teeth clean.
Unless your teeth are weaker than the average Joe's, which could happen, if it runs in the family, you can negate any damaging effect to your teeth by simply having a good brush and toothpaste. (edit: and using them, doh... )
The only other negative effect would of course be the sugar turning into additional body fat thing. Got a bit of that going on myself, around the belly area. But at my age, I don't really care all that much. It doesn't get any worse, so I'm keeping it in check. If it does get worse, I'll start doing some extra exercises again, but so far, it's remained the same for the last five, six years or so.
As for the garlic topic: did you also watch the video from the restaurant? They actually had a lot of really tasty looking dishes, some with more garlic than others, but all in all, pretty damn enticing. I might even have to put them on my "to do" list, whenever I go back to the States for a visit...
@ThanosReXXX Dental care is a topic I'm curious about. I'm nearing 40, have no record of any tooth decay etc, but in my adult life I must only average 1 tooth-brushing session per day at most, don't routinely floss, never use mouthwash, and don't avoid sugar, sweets or starchy foods. I've always drunk tap water, which I assume contains fluoride.
I've visited a dentist twice in 20 years, and only then for check-up. My most recent visit a few years back, the dentist suggested my gums were prematurely receded, and could only suggest this was due to over-brushing (even though I brush less than half the recommended amount).
@ThanosReXXX No, thank you. I just got home from the gym, and I'm already debating whether I should grab some leftovers from dinner. I'm certain that if I'd watch that video, I'd be making some spaghetti aglio e olio, after midnight...
