Kathryn said garlic has a season. So I look out for Australian garlic. In season. Unbleached. I don't always manage it. Thought I bought Australian garlic the other day. Got home from the supermarket. Unpacked the bags. Found it was Argentinian garlic. I have good intentions and failing eyesight! I am the woman you see cluttering the aisles peering at the list of ingredients. Maybe it is time to take my glasses to the supermarket.

Even with my glasses on, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the differnce! ;) But all garlic is good garlic, right? :)
ReplyDeleteugh - yes - all I can find at the moment is the imported Mexican garlic!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'm feeling a little ignorant now. I always just pick what seems to be the standard. I'll pay more attention from now on!
ReplyDeleteOh yes garlic is definitely a summer crop! I can't wait to buy it when summer comes round. I like Patrice Newell's garlic :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ricki - the vegies are labelled quite clearly with where they come from in the supermarket (one of the good things about shopping there) which was why I couldn't believe I had misread it
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa - I saw Australian garlic today for $59 a kilo!!!
Thanks Kari - glad it is not just me who never had thought that garlic had a season - check out Kathryn's post
Thanks Lorraine - wow you are a connoisseur if you can even have a favourite source!
Garlic is bleached???!! I had no idea... must do further research on this and stop buying garlic from China.
