What is a decent alternative for fresh garlic?

LJM

i dont tend to have that trouble as i seem to put garlic in everything so i probably use too much lol, can you not make up your own garlic oil

If I run out of fresh garlic then I am happy to use the tube of garlic from my local shop. I do use about double the recipe says..........it doesnt seem as strong as fresh garlic. but,needs must and tube garlic is better than no garlic!

I've tried the 'pickled' garlic cloves from Aldi. They kept well but taste was a bit mild for me.

I tried lazy garlic but found it tastes more of vinegar than garlic. I

I now buy frozen chopped garlic from asda - 150g for about 64p and seems to last for ages.

I got a big bag of garlic bulbs from Chinese supermarket, what I didn't use, went in the freezer whole. i just break off as many cloves as I need and the skins rub off as a bonus. Freezing doesn't seem to have altered flavour as far as I can tell.

It tastes of garlic ...not as good as fresh, but not bad. One small teaspoon would be about the same as a large clove of fresh garlic.

I bought a few jars of something similar from Approved Food a while back. I add it to anything which requires fresh garlic. There's no discernible difference in taste to the real thing.
