Germans, in general, have a very cautious relationship with garlic.
They will certainly often go out of their way to avoid it - especially if an important work event is scheduled the following day.
Given their enormous and whole-hearted consumption of so many varieties of cabbage - I find this more than a tad paradoxical.

- Of antipodean origin, currently living in Germany with the "Ger-Man", not-nearly-as-little-as-he used-to-be "Caspi-Man" , "The Cheeky Monkey", and four-legged "Banjo". Dream is to have a permanent place in both hemispheres and the means to travel betweeen. Am lucky to have family & friends in far-flung corners of the globe but, where ever I am, I'm missing someone terribly. Prone to procrastination and to wearing pajamas and animal ears - I often find myself outside my comfort zone...life seems to be a continually- vertical learning curve...

and yes, yes, I know that smelling of garlic is associated with being "southern" european (but why exactly that's a bad thing is beyond me)and yes, yes, I do know that Schiller said:
"Warum rülpset und furzet Ihr nicht, hat we Euch nicht geschmacket."
But still- for me, as an antepodean, THE PARADOX REMAINS.
