I think it turns out to $1 an ounce—but that still seems absurdly high.
Then again, it may be the level of protectionism that the English need to make their own garlic-culture viable?
If accurate, no wonder it led to smuggling!
I’m still getting about $10.587 per ounce. I have not allowed for Britih Tons.
Even allowing a British ton at 2240 pounds I get 9.45.
Someone needs to help us out for math this early in the day or tax rates on garlic imports in Britian.
