One thing’s obvious: There’s a certain something in the air during National Garlic Day.

Did you know that Egyptians worshipped garlic as a god—and even used it as currency? That’s not all. Garlic supposedly gave strength to Greek athletes and warriors, warded off the evil eye, and protected maidens from evil nymphs. Not to mention, vampires. (Thanks, Dracula!)

Just think about all the garlicky foods we love. There’s garlic bread and garlic fries for starters. If you feel as strongly about garlic as we do, celebrate with us on April 19.

I picked up a Garlic cookbook in Gilroy, CA., several years ago at their Garlic Festival. There’s a recipe for garlic ice cream.

The perfect amount of garlic in any dish sits on a simple rule: for every clove of garlic a recipe asks you to use, use three.

Eighty percent of all the garlic consumed in the USA comes from China.

—
Tacoma, Washington used to have an aroma all its own. But when the smelter closed and the plant was torn down, the aroma left with it.

That was a Zappa reference. 8~)
