Common name I believe is elephant garlic, I grew it, it takes over and to my
taste is not all that special

Thanks to you and Russel. I'll look it up.


OT

If you suffer from leg cramps one of the offenders that bring them on
is eating any of the alliums. There is no "cure" as far as I know
though temprory relief is obtained by stretching or relaxing the
tendons concerned.

You can search for such techniques online but I am not sure where. I
get them at night if I stretch in my sleep. That's the night over as
far as sleep goes.
