[Sca-cooks] garlic

[rbbtslyr]

  Thanks and I will do that, mostly they are varieties but I understand that along with Elephant Garlic there are two other lesser used that are other speices of allium and are called garlic as that is what they taste like.  As I am just getting started in the medieval cooking, I will read that section and print out parts of it, it is a great resource.

  I assume you actually mean something like "varietals" rather than 
  "species". Still, you bring up an interesting question. I can't 
  remember any discussions on different types of garlic, except maybe 
  elephant head garlic compared to regular garlic. In the store I can't 
  ever remember them being labeled as specific types of garlic, although 
  that could because most commercially grown garlic comes from one or a 
  few types of similar garlic.

  Perhaps you might be interested in this file in the PLANTS, HERBS AND 
  SPICES section of the Florilegium:
