Another Wednesday, another b&w photograph. Thanks to Susan's weekly event, I am at least keeping this blog current.
These giant elephant garlic were a regular offering at our local CSA farm till the crops gave in to relentless over 100 degrees heat and some unexpected rain showers. Despite their size, the elephant garic is milder in taste to the regular garlic and actually are a varient to the species that belongs to the leek family. It was still fun to use these giant pods for cooking and as a substitute for garlic they made for interesting flavor.
Size matters
Elephant garlic (for Susan)

ReplyDeleteLike the way those 'hairs' are shown in great detail.
