    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?

    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...

    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!

    Now you've really got me curious! Just how different are your

    to appreciate the subtleties?

    They are fairly different, especially since most of the garlic I grow
    doesn't store very well, and hence you won't be seeing it at your
    local market (most supermarket garlic is silverskin or rocambole,
    which are chosen for thick skins and good storability).

    I was at a garlic festival last year and was told that "music" garlic was
    the most common and sold in stores. Is "Rocombole" the same thing? I also
    got some Russian (milder), Spanish, Polish, and Soft-neck. I don't remember
    anything special about the last 3. Just noticed that I have a type.. Ted's
    Pride.. might be a local variety, that I haven't tried yet. I am waiting for
    the time that chef's start stipulating the type of garlic to use. 🙂

    various varieties of garlic? Do they have really noticeable flavour
    differences or does one have to be something like a wine connoisseur
    to appreciate the subtleties?

    "Music" is a variety of Rocambole, at least according to my notes...
