Just peeled a garlic bulb from Tesco and got one clove and this massive clove. Winning or cheated?

  4. Getting a pound in your clove of garlic is pretty much winning in my books

  8. When they say just 1 clove of garlic in a dish…

  9. I’d check the country of origin. Seem to remember reading that we import quite a bit of Chinese garlic – which is fine, but it tends to be larger than European garlic and have a slightly different flavour. Chinese garlic has IIRC a bolder, more garlic-y taste. 

  12. Depends on how much garlic you need and how much you’ll need to throw away.

  13. This is one of the only times where I would follow the ‘add 1 clove of garlic’ instructions in cooking

  14. Nah, generally the lottery pays more than that when you win.

  15. Lottery is only a quid these days? Damn, hard times.

  18. When planting garlic they need a period of cold weather to properly develop into bulbs. Usually you’d plant them in late autumn or winter because of this, otherwise you get one large mild tasting bulb

  19. Lidl in Northern Ireland sells single garlic cloves like this, but it’s shaped like a normal bulb. Same flavour, but so much easier to peel.

  26. Garlic for scale. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
