Heads of Garlic

I told the person beside me, "You don't wanna smell the breath on that girl." Pretty as she is, that is a whole bulb of garlic sitting on her skull. That must be a major hindrance to finding a decent guy.
Ilocos is really popular for the powerful garlic variety that we grow. Unfortunately, the Taiwan garlic, which is a thousand times milder in flavor and simply easier to cut because it is grande, has overtaken the Iloco variant in the preference scale of most Pinoys. The Iloco garlic is also more expensive, one more reason to not be too fond of it.
All is good, however, to the skilled cook and the hungry gourmand. This is why our province never became famous for aswangs and the like.
