Wow! That's's a lot of garlic! I LOVE garlic and Tzatziki both so I'm up for the challenge! You have my 5 for courage alone. Although I'm sure the recipe is a good one.

Great going, girl! I adore garlic so it's never too much for me...except in ice cream.

I love this stuff, especially on gyro sandwiches. Your recipe is a good one. Thanks As for the garlic, people can use to taste. That doesn't sound like to much for me but I love garlic so I'm sure I will love it.

This sounds very good. How does Balkan-style yogurt differ from Greek-style? Are they the same?

My friends and I have had a cooking slogan for many years: "There's no such thing as too much garlic." So far, we haven't been proven wrong.
