You certainly get garlic referred to repeatedly in 14th-century English
recipes, as flavoring in various dishes and even as a vegetable on its own:
aquapatys (from Forme of Cury) is boiled garlic with seasonings, served
forth hot. The word garlic is Anglo-Saxon, meaning (if I remember
correctly) spear-onion.
