Is it just me or did garlic used to be a lot more, well, garlicy?  It seems like no matter where I purchase it from, I’m always using more than called for in recipes to achieve the same flavor.  Garlic has lost its garlic taste.

It could be that the garlic often sold in stores is the “soft neck” variety which has less flavor, but is easier to grow and pull.

Or, maybe my tongue is just messed-up.
