I've had pickled garlic PLENTY of times. It's a little weird, but I got used to it. Otherwise I agree with you 100% - my wife loves garlic in everything, too (not as much as onions, but close)! I don't want to be too cruel but I couldn't stand Russian food for the most part - salt, pepper and garlic were 99.99% of the spices I encountered there. My wife's Uzbek/Russian food seems a lot more to my taste. Solyanka was OK but otherwise bland city! @Irina, well, having lived in Russia and having a Russian wife I have to say that we must have a different sphere of influence.

But pickled??? Honestly, I never had a pickled garlic in my life... LOL... But I do put garlic in almost every dish: soups, salads, meat, fish, you name it I put garlic in it. And if that wouldn't be enough, I take garlic nutritional supplement in capsules... just to make sure that I get some garlic in when I don't have time to chop and prepare the real thing, the natural garlic. In addition to garlic I use every other spice known to man in all my dishes and teas. When I lived in Russia I only had access to salt and pepper and garlic, so I am trying to catch up. It helps that my local BigLOTs and CVS sell spices for pennies... I don't think I would go that wild if I had to pay $5 for each spice. LOL. Being a Russian myself, I confirm, Russians love garlic!
