jars of chopped garlic suck compared to actual cloves. I don't see the big deal, garlic is so easy to store/peel/chop up.

No, you're not. And I'm a really good cook. I buy the giant jars, not the wimpy little jars and since time is at a premium, it really helps. I know there is a difference, but not enough to count.

Another time saver is to go to an Asian grocery store and look for ginger paste. Makes a great substitute for fresh ginger.

the difference between jars of garlic and fresh garlic is huge.

Not as much as the difference between microwaved storebought food and something homemade. My time is limited, I've got to cut corners somewhere.

And although I'll admit there's probably a difference, it's not something the average person would notice, let alone children. I'm cooking for my family, not the food critic at the NYT.
