Do you mean 'solo' garlic? They may be somewhat mild, but they're great
roasted whole and creamed for stuffings, fillings, spreads, dips and all
sorts. You know if you plant one, it grows next time into 'normal'
garlic?

Ain't nature cool?
I don't recall what they were called when I bought them at our local
"second" supermarket, and I hadn't seen them here before. If they're
still around I'll check out that "solo" designation. I *thought* they
were advertised as "single clove garlic" when I saw them earlier this
month.
Could well be, but likely the same thing - small bulb of garlic, one whole
piece?
I did find a page quite qucikly when I googled to find out what the hell the
things were first time I saw them. Try googling for 'single clove garlic' or
some such then maybe...

for the "Eva Solo garlic press" -- a USD70.00 designer press that I
can probably live without. ;-) See:

(Click on "larger image" for the best view I've found that gives some
indication of how the bloody thing works.)Cheers, Phred.
Heheheh, no thanks! - I just don't dig garlic presses, although I have seen
some very good ones. I like to get hands on with the stuff, and relish the
garlic scented fingers for the next few days LOL!
