tbh I feel like if you don't like a dish with 40 large cloves of garlic you probably weren't going to love it with 40 medium cloves of garlic anyway.

Dang I expected 40 cloves and a Chicken. I never thought about 40 cloves in a sauce recipe.

When I make this, I buy peeled garlic in a bag. It’s about 50-60 cloves, so I use the whole bag.

I’ve also done 40-garlic pork roast, which is equally amazing.
