Elephant garlic

I have never seen this sold at the market. I live in Southern California.

Ah, but that is where you have gone amiss!

>>8665448
that looks nothing like an elephant

>>8665448
Because who the fuck needs a whole clove of that monstrous garlic?

Because I grow my own standard garlic and btfo anything you can buy. Pic related, part of last year's harvest in June that we're still using.

lmao enjoy the mind control chemicals built into the genes of your garlic

fucking pleb

>Why on earth would you use regular garlic and not this

I'm vegan

I really don't need that much garlic. Also if you slightly crush the clove the "skin" comes off easily.

>>8665489
It's called elephant garlic because the stem looks like the trunk of an elephant dipshit.

But that's wrong.
For one, it's a variety of shallot. For another, it tastes like a shallot with only a vaguely garlicky taste. It's more like an afterthought of garlic than the flavour of it.

>>8665602
It's a legit variety. First time I saw it was in the late 80s or early 90s. My mother bought one because she thought she was being fancy but it tasted of shallot rather than garlic, so she used it to make a rempah for something. It's over 20 years ago now so I don't remember what the rempah was for, but I clearly remember elephant garlic just being an overgrown shallot.

>>8665448
it's a type of onion, not garlic, and is less pungent

>>8665448
You forgot
>Not actually garlic

>>8665626
no

4x the size of a regular clove with half the taste. Amazing!

when will this meme die

>>8666187
not him but you know there are still markets right? I live in the middle of nowhere leafistan and even we have farmers markets.

unless this is bait I guess?

>>8665452

It's at Walmart. or, literally, any other grocery store in SoCal.

>>8665597

Can we be BFF's?

>> No detectable difference in taste
Doubt it. Like anything natural the smallest varieties tend to taste the best, such as with tomatoes.

>>8665448
>>8665484

It's weird. I got ahold of that big garlic, and I didn't know what it was called or that it existed, but I just intuitively called it elephant garlic. I think it's some sort of naming convention we have for large size versions of things.

>>8666832

Which is why my wife calls me elephant as well ;)

>>8665448
>smells like shit
>tastes like bland nothing
GEEE

They aren't comparable in taste at all, elephant garlic is significantly milder. It's more for making garlic spreads and etc

>>8665448
Because it only keeps elephant vampires away. It's regular vampires I'm worried about

>>8667396
but elephant vampires never forget

FOREVER

Is that because if you put all your weight on her, you'll crush her to death?

>>8666816
He's making the point that you didn't clean any of your garlic off, trim it at all, prepare it before you put it in the fridge so it looks like shit, you could've saved a lot of space and not have that horrifying shit in your fridge.

Reminder that literally every single product of selective breeding and agriculture is technically genetic modification, and that current gene insertion techniques have simply broadened our control of the process.

At least you figured out that some people still live in America even though they have different taste than you

fuck off, retard.

>>8667901
lol, no. You might as well claim that offspring from sexual reproduction = GMO because technically it is impossible to reproduce sexually and have offspring that are exact clones of the parents

>>8665597
can i have some?

>>8667901
friendly reminder that GMOs are completely unregulated thanks to bill clinton and you have no fucking clue what you're actually stuffing into your face

Never heard of it before. If I could get it with ease I would.

Haven't seen it around here in years, sadly.

So not much different than "organic" foods, huh?

I raise you one bar with single clove garlic, superior in taste and even more efficient!

>>8667913
I think it's a nu-male reaction face that's typically used to mock out-of-touch snobs living in metropolitan areas.

>>8668470
Out of touch with what? How many common foods cause hillbillies to cower in fear?

The out of touch ones are the people who get upset over god that doesn't come out of a cardboard box. It's not 1955 anymore, logistics happened

>ugh just thinking of crushing that baby... I am so excited to get my hands on one of these things

>>8668371
wat

Need to find this.

>>8668586
I didnt follow the argument from the beginning but explain yourself

i dont like garlic
i think its disgusting

>>8668817
sometimes its really hard to tell what you guys on ck are arguing about but I finally get it

It really wasn't worth the argument.

>>8668831
Garlic's really healthy, you'd probably be pleasantly surprised how many things you enjoyed had garlic in them; you just have to know how to cook it. I get surprised when people say they don't like broccoli but that's probably cos they've been eating shit raw broccoli or something..

>>8668842
No one's even arguing. Are you okay?

>>8668861
dont try to pull that shit with me asshole, hang your head in shame and walk away

>>8668983
that's right. know your place.

>>8668371
Where do you find that

>>8668814
"God" was supposed to be "food" but with the typo it's much more fun

>>8668991
I do, it's above you because I don't get autistically mad when a contradicting opinion surfaces.

>>8667686
>neo-flyover
Nothing makes sense anymore.

>>8665602
> Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum) is a perennial plant belonging to the onion genus. It is not a true garlic, but actually a variant of the garden leek.

It's not GMO

You don't actually know what garlic tastes like do you.

>>8666851
I'm guessing it's an ironic thing about how many anniversaries you've forgotten
