If you like garlic, but don't want bad breath or indigestion - I just wrap up a few cloves in a damp paper towel & microwave a few seconds (not more than 10 seconds).  Still great flavor! 

You can enjoy raw garlic & onion without the unpleasant side effects.

I've heard of people chopping or mincing garlic with lemon juice to get rid of the bite, I haven't personally tried it.  Emeril Lagasse tosses sliced raw onion in cold lemon juice & water for that same reason, even shredded horseradish - I asked when we dined at Nola in New Orleans.
