Strange-looking Garlic Clove question
 

I was peeling some garlic tonight, and one clove emerged translucent,
almost jelly-like in feel. The rest were whitish, as usual. Is there
anything wrong with the odd man out, or does anyone know what causes this?

Sounds like it was rotten. Toss it and move on to the next clove.
I always give the bulb a good squeeze before I buy it. It is feels
soft or like it shrunk any, grab the next one and try.
