Garlic 101

Ahhh, Garlic.  Very few spices are as necessary for most cuisines as garlic. 3 types: Softneck (the most common heads in grocery stores), Elephant (much milder - I don't use it - rather use a shallot, and it's in the leek family), and hardneck, which you won't f ind but at farmer's markets in the summer.  Hardneck doesn't store as well and is easily damaged.  The finer you mince garlic the stronger it is.  More about why in the next installment of Garlic... 102!  Lula
