The vinegar will knock you out! .PP This recipe won first place at a recent Garlic Cook-off at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. .PP Serve with rice, Chinese noodles or pasta. .SH RATING .I Difficulty: easy. .I Time: preparation: 5 minutes, cooking: 20 minutes. .I Precision: measure vinegar, soy sauce and honey. .WR Sharon Badian AT&T Information Systems, Holmdel, New Jersey ihnp4!mtgzy!seb
