Sounds good, but 40 cloves of garlic? Man, I would have to use a whole roll of Breath-Savers after that LOL! Can that be adjusted?

As long as the people that you're sharing it with eat it too, it's not a problem! I haven't tried to adjust it honestly, but I love garlic, and it's sooooo good! Easy too. It's nice if you can get someone to help peel though.
