IIRC, they have a similar derogatory term for Americans: "bata-kusai", or
"butter stinkers".
On the subject of garlic, I read that Alfonso XI of Castile passed an edict
in 1330 prohibiting knights who had eaten onions or garlic from entering his
court or addressing his courtiers for no less than four weeks.
