That is because it kinda looks like a brain. Once you realize it’s actually all garlic it stops looking delicious.

I’m pissed they wouldn’t at least do a bit of fork smashing and spread the roasted garlic around. That shits gonna be falling all over the place. Terrible plating.

One of best sidedish I have ever eat was an entire garlic head roasted. My wife hated it because I smelled like garlic for an entire day.

As long as it’s roasted to the point where you can squish it with a fork, it should be good. Just 1/3 the amount of garlic would be enough for me though.

While I agree with you, and I do dearly love garlic, I feel obligated to give you a word of caution:

If you eat too much roasted garlic, for the next 24-48 hours, every room you enter will smell like garlic, your sweat will smell like garlic, your farts (and there will be many) will smell like garlic, and your poop will smell like garlic. It will not be a pleasant experience.

Don’t ask me how I know this.
