drdawg said:The second grower only had 'Elephant' garlic though the sign only said "GARLIC". I asked him whether he knew that Elephant garlic was not even a garlic, but was more closely related to the onion. With a sly grin, he said: "Oh, you are just splitting hairs". He did not care! I guess I should not have cared either, but I did. I did not say another word. He knew that I knew he was falsely labeling an "Onion" as a "Garlic". I had made my point and felt better doing so! Sometimes I wish I did not know as much as I do about certain things. Then I wouldn't care about what I didn't know.

drdawg said:GREEN, what's a "green clove"? I have never heard of that term. I need some (much needed) education here. Thanks.
drdawg said:I think we have all become pretty cynical, GREEN. By the way, did you ever explain what a "Green" garlic clove was? If you did, I missed it somehow. Tell me again.

It would be the same for us, GREEN.
Which came before THIS, posted by ME, later on May 16:
sells green cloves in BULK for cheap
I THINK I thought you used the word "green" to mean "fresh".
Either that or I was trying to say "peeled" and my brain hiccupped.
It happens.
