Garlic - Yum!
I first posted this to: rec.food.veg.cooking ,
and did not get single post! G'day All, I'm really asking these questions from a gardeners perspective, so I hope you don't think me 'off topic'. When it comes to the cooking: - How different are the many types of garlic? - Is it important to different cooking styles? - Is it worth growing more than one type for the kitchen? - What are the largest or strongest types? - Any opinions? China Wingham NSW 065 -What do you call a garlic expert? - Why don't I find any vampires in my garden? - How many garlic's does it take to change a light globe? - What does a Gar lick? |
for me china,
so long as it isn't that irrigated with polluted water chinese stuff and it's aussie grown it all tastes great. i'm not much into varieties basically i have the hard neck & soft neck varieties, planting at the moment got somewhere near 500 bulbets planted so far. with the usenet posts that you can see and send may not be able to be seen by others so sometimes it pays to repost again a couple of weeks later, don't why or what but that's about the gist of it. len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gardenlen1/ my e/mail addies have spam filters you should know what to delete before you send. |
The rec.food.veg. cooking news group is for vegetarians. I don't know why
they didn't answer you, but when I answered one of them and gave them a recipe that included meat, my answer was blocked and no one saw it. You might try again. Dwayne "China" wrote in message ...

If you are a purist, I would imagine so. - Is it worth growing more than one type for the kitchen? If you have the room and want to do it, yes. Some of the alliums are quite decorative. - What are the largest or strongest types? Russian or Elephant garlic has huge (but rather mild) cloves and is grown mainly as an ornamental. AFAIK you can eat all sort of alliums, but some are better-flavoured than others. I like Welsh onions (also called bunching shallots), leeks, chives, ordinary garlic and Elephant garlic. I don't really like the taste of garlic chives and have been unsuccessful in growing shallots. Have never tried tree onions, but they look fun. Most alliums grow readily from seed (or in the case of garlic, the cloves), so have fun experimenting! -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about."
