One thing they taught me as a cook, was the larger the Garlic pieces the milder the flavor the less brown the milder the flavor. Of course then there is hard and softneck Garlic and about 500 species each with different flavors I am order 10 different heirloom types for my fall garden. The some Garlics are not but other alliums....so what types should I use, in period dishes?

Uhh... the bird was a good size for a chicken. I want to say four pounds
but I'm not sure. The garlic cloves were pretty standard size, and yes, I
halved them. But even the halves, and the ones that were already skinny,
weren't cooked through.

Yup. Actually, I left it in about ten minutes longer, as I was waiting for
the Losyns to be done (I browned them in the oven).

Hmm.
If I'd left the chicken in the broth that long, it would fall apart (as it
was, I had a hard time getting it out of the pot), which would rather
defeat the purpose of stuffing it, I'd think. So I'm back to wondering how
the garlic and the chicken are done through at the same time.
