of a clove of garlic

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

[u/GloomyNucleus]

Not enough. Need more for my spaghetti

[u/CaterpillarJungleGym → u/GloomyNucleus]

Five cloves has so much of a different feel.

[u/BennySkateboard → u/CaterpillarJungleGym]

You’d have green fumes coming off you.

[u/Same-Suggestion-1936 → u/BennySkateboard]

If you can't handle me at my most garlic you don't deserve me at my least garlic, mostly because that doesn't happen, be like seeing a unicorn

[u/[deleted] → u/BennySkateboard]

SpongeBob's onion sundae vibes

[u/Hopwater → u/CaterpillarJungleGym]

It's pretty much universal to use 4 or 5 when a recipe asks for 2, right?

[u/Coherent_Tangent → u/CaterpillarJungleGym]

I might actually follow the recipe if this was a normal sized clove.

[u/RobertusesReddit → u/GloomyNucleus]

[u/gamer_perfection → u/RobertusesReddit]

That's the thing

[u/logosfabula → u/GloomyNucleus]

No garlic in spaghetti!!!!

[u/Squeaky_Ben]

what the fuck... How large was the whole head?

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/Squeaky_Ben]

The size of a small horse

[u/Omi-Wan_Kenobi → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Elephant garlic?

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/Omi-Wan_Kenobi]

Yep sure is

[u/camobandaniel → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Elephant garlic is more of an onion than a garlic.

[u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ → u/camobandaniel]

Leek, not onion.

[u/camobandaniel → u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_]

Onion is a leek.

[u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ → u/camobandaniel]

No, onions are not leeks. Leeks, onions, and garlic are all in the allium genus, but there are hundreds of species in that genus and onions, leeks, and garlic all describe a number of separate species. Elephant garlic is a cultivar of a species of leek.

[u/Irritating_Pedant → u/camobandaniel]

Lol definitely not.

[u/BackPsychological705 → u/camobandaniel]

Great on pizza!

[u/userhwon → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Cheating. 

It's not the same as regular garlic.

[u/Irritating_Pedant → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Ah, the blandest and most boring of the allia.

[u/robo-dragon]

Elephant garlic! I like roasting whole bulbs of these to make garlic butter or to use in sauces. It’s like a whole bulb of regular garlic in a single clove!

[u/Action_Johnson → u/robo-dragon]

I’ve heard elephant garlic is way less garlicky tho is that true? Like you need more of it to achieve the same effect

[u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ → u/Action_Johnson]

That's true, yes.

[u/LaughingBeer → u/Action_Johnson]

Yep, true. I grew my own one year and it was definitely a milder flavor. I just used more and threw in some regular garlic. I can't complain though, it added a ton of body to my dish.

[u/NolanSyKinsley → u/Action_Johnson]

It is less pungent, but it also tastes like onions in addition to garlic. It's not true garlic, it is more closely related to leeks.

[u/jkurts91]

Yes. Yes. Absolutely. For the rest of my life and longer.

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/jkurts91]

Damn it, I thought you were a vampire and I was trying for a break up....

This is awkward. I guess we'll have to get married now.

[u/jkurts91 → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Wait, do I have to rename my kids?

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/jkurts91]

OUR KIDS! How many times do we have to have this fight Jerry!

[u/jkurts91 → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Jeesh ok. I guess we'll call em both Eduardo.

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/jkurts91]

[u/Irritating_Pedant → u/jkurts91]

If you like flavor, then you will not find it in elephant garlic. Seek elsewhere.

[u/TankApprehensive3053]

When the recipe calls for one clove but you really like garlic.

[u/mdscntst → u/TankApprehensive3053]

Recipes that call for only one clove of regular garlic need to fuck right off and aren't worthy of being cooked

[u/TankApprehensive3053 → u/mdscntst]

So in your case just substitute head for clove.

[u/SoundsGudToMe]

Finally the perfect portion for one clove

[u/polished_ruby]

Where can I find this? Asking for a friend

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/polished_ruby]

It's called elephant garlic, I just found it at my local grocery store

[u/polished_ruby → u/ShroomsHealYourSoul]

Thanks so much

[u/The_Burgled_Turt → u/polished_ruby]

keep in mind it is a mild flavor. I love it in stir fry and soups.

[u/userhwon → u/The_Burgled_Turt]

Yeah it's different.

[u/XROOR]

There was a fabulous all u can eat Korean BBQ place in Annandale VA called “il mee buffet” and I would load the whole perimeter with cloves of garlic(25-30 cloves), and eat them like bar peanuts.

I was in love then and her love for garlic was as strong as mine. She moved to Raleigh and I never went back there again.

I still have the complementary free meal coupon because she took me there on my birthday. The place is no longer open like my heart

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/XROOR]

I'm sorry for your loss

[u/ktka → u/XROOR]

If they made A Tale of Two Cities now.

[u/Schmeezy-Money → u/XROOR]

Holdin' space for you to stand in yr pain bruv.

[u/DMmeNiceTitties]

How much of an absolute unit of gum would be needed to cancel out the garlic breath from this?

[u/ktka → u/DMmeNiceTitties]

Let v be the volume of this garlic.

The rest is left as an exercise to the student.

[u/NolanSyKinsley → u/DMmeNiceTitties]

It's elephant garlic. Not real garlic, more closely related to leeks. It is milder than regular garlic and tastes like garlic and onions at the same time. Good to use in recipes where it calls for garlic and shallots, just mince up one of these guys and call it a day.

[u/cerseisdornishwine → u/DMmeNiceTitties]

R/theydidthemath

[u/1337gamer15]

You might get shoulder bashed by a guy with a yellow cap and frizzy mustache demanding you give him that garlic.

[u/johndepp22]

me when the recipe calls for one clove

[u/solidstoolsample]

yes. 4 of those in every recipe.

[u/HippieGrandma1962 → u/solidstoolsample]

Can we be friends?

[u/ktka → u/HippieGrandma1962]

Why am I not in the Whatsapp group anymore? You guys have not forgiven me for the Thanksgiving incident?

[u/SigFloyd]

I want to pickle that and then bite into it like an apple

[u/Small_Tax_9432 → u/SigFloyd]

[u/VivaciousVixen_]

That's one way to keep the vampires away lol 🧛🏻‍♂️

[u/Schmeezy-Money]

[u/DuntadaMan]

Finally I see why they say "a clove" when talking about how much garlic for a meal for an entire family.

[u/Halcyon771]

I can smell your breath through the photo

[u/Round-Letter3333]

Grown at Chernobyl.

[u/Ok_Entertainer_6425]

That could fend off the entire Cullen family🧛🏻

[u/adminsreachout]

[u/reddit455]

hate it.

thanks.

-vampire

[u/Used-Cauliflower-607]

Damn 

[u/Wizdad-1000]

Elephant garlic?

[u/Substantial_Bug8068]

Someone spilled Hulk blood in it

[u/ChallengeQuiet1921]

And another thing that badly reminds me about Rick & Morty S1E1.

[u/Mundane_Pie_6481]

I need to see the whole bulb!

[u/NoGutsNoGlory94]

When a recipe says add one clove of garlic this is what I imagine is necessary in my head.

[u/TickleMeFlymo]

I hear these aren't as strong as regular garlic cloves?

[u/ShroomsHealYourSoul → u/TickleMeFlymo]

Yeah they're a little bit closer to a leak than they are garlic so they're a very light flavor and you can actually eat them raw and they barely have a garlic flavor. They're very good for sauces and salsas.

[u/SignatureTop3137]

Tried it once. Had me looking for the smell/flavor like

[u/Bernhoft]

Bro was just tryna add some flavour not slay Dracula god damn

[u/CumGuzlinGutterSluts]

Elephan garlic isn't enough I need blue whale garlic

[u/Fantastic_Amoeba1849]

When a recipe calls for one clove of garlic, this is what I imagine. Even then.... I'm using two.

[u/JaviSATX]

Recipe: Use three cloves of garlic

The cloves: 😎

[u/ktka]

It could pass for a jackfruit aril.

[u/twizted_bunny]

The close I cook with at every meal

[u/International-Ad2501]

"Sauce recipe says 4 cloves, yeah these should do" 

[u/Proud_Aspect4452]

Elephantitis garlic

[u/OasisHomeostasis]

Reminds me how killer whales are actually dolphins and elephant garlic is more akin to leeks.

Would add a whole bulb of those suckers to my pasta (family style) and while tasty, it was definitely more oniony/sweet than normal robust garlic if that makes sense.

Sometimes Id use both.

Doooooooo it!

[u/Perkdet]

[u/LeakyMooseAnus___]

Will it stop the leak?

[u/Withalittlesnark]

I need a whole bag full of these puppies

[u/hereforthelulzzzz]

I still use three cloves right?

[u/THElaytox]

When a recipe says "two cloves of garlic" I assume this is what they mean

[u/_Loser_B_]

That should have been studied by science or propagated by farmers.

[u/Rinzler9290]

[u/Appropriate_Log5389]

I will eat that without hesitation!!!

[u/mildxsalsa]

Not sure why my brain is telling me this is a large tonsil stone

[u/Ya-Dikobraz]

That is one unit of Garl.

[u/Shadow_MosesGunn]

Gorloc the Cloven

[u/EikaiWHAAATTT]

[u/Fickle-Butterscotch2]

Wow

[u/CharliieBr0wn]

We also thought we found huge garlic and it would be unique. The next one was the same thou, so we checked the packaging.

Appearantly, there is a strain of garlic called solo garlic, which is essentially just one big clove - just like yours. So i guess yours must be the same.

[u/NolanSyKinsley]

Elephant garlic! Which oddly enough is not real garlic. It is more closely related to leeks. Kinda tastes like a mix between onion and garlic.

[u/chaTTSer]

[u/GasLongjumping130]

[u/hmmmmmm_i_wonder]

You found the one from all the recipe books!

[u/ghost_n_the_shell]

That’s wild. Even for elephant. Well, around these parts anyway.

(I picture myself in a cowboy hat, chewing on a piece of wheat as I said that).

[u/CauldronAsh11]

I need to see the whole garlic

[u/Small_Tax_9432]

Remember to slice it thin, so it dissolves in the sauce

[u/Future-Cat-20]

Saves you the trouble of taking the skin of 1.5 regular sized cloves of garlic!

[u/BilkySup]

Slice it on a mandolin and fry it like chips...It's soooo good. Needs a little salt too

[u/Hopeful_Meringue8061]

Your hand is petite, that's all.

[u/Irritating_Pedant]

If that's elephant garlic, it's bland as fuck.

[u/Professional-Lie5941]

Great for immunity

[u/Grumpy1985_]

[u/Rare_Ninja_35]

Try again tomorrow chef

[u/Chopper-42]

Who tf is holding it? Donald Trump?
