    Yes they can and yes they do - some dont like it in its raw form, others seem to enjoy it
    I had a coral beauty once that would eat small chunks of it raw

    IMO its the liquid you want , squeeze the cloves and soak the food in the resulting liquid

    And there is always the obligatory Garlic Guard. A $10 bottle of garlic juice from the LFS. I was lazy enough to buy this. Good product. I just rub a little on a Nori strip before putting it on the clip.
