I was specifically thinking of roasting garlic and then spreading it 
on bread. I hadn't even thought of the fact that garlic might be roasted
and then used for other purposes. Interesting. That would seem to
increase the chances of finding some evidence of roasted garlic being
spread on bread, someday.

What I was remembering was the quantity of garlic that is boiled.

(If my memory was better, I wouldn't NEED the Florilegium. :-) )
