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. Whistling


Like I said earlier, "If they DID know, they wouldn't tell us because they want to encourage our shopping". Or words to that effect. It's a rare seller who's in it for the love of the product. They just want the money.
