we are garlics !

Allium sativum L., commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion family Alliaceae. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, and leek. Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It has a characteristic pungent, 'hot', flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.

A bulb of garlic, the most commonly used plant part, is divided into numerous discrete fleshy sections called cloves. The cloves are used as seed, for consumption(raw or cooked) and medicinal purposes. The leaves, stems(scape) and flowers(bulbils) on the head(spathe) are also edible and most often consumed while immature and still tender. The papery, protective layers of 'skin' over various parts of the plant and the roots attached to the bulb are the only parts not considered palatable.
There is much folklore and confusion surrounding this ancient plant. For example, one of the most well known "garlics", the so-called elephant garlic, is actually a Wild Leek (Allium ampeloprasum), not a garlic (Allium sativum).

Garlic has been regarded as a force for both good and evil. A Christian myth considers that after Satan left the Garden of Eden, garlic arose in his left footprint, and onion in the right.[32] In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic, perhaps owing to its reputation as a potent preventative medicine.[33] Central European folk beliefs considered garlic a powerful ward against demons, werewolves, and vampires.[33] To ward off vampires, garlic could be worn, hung in windows or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes.[34]
The association of garlic to evil spirits may be based on the antibacterial, antiparasitic value of garlic, which could prevent infections that lead to delusions, and other related mental illness symptoms.

Being a garlic is the best thing that has happened to me....
