Interesting that he'd say garlic because my dad (in his 70s now) lives in his hometown in Croatia. Where most people grow crops, it's a rural community.
And near the center most crops are just for personal consumption. Yet no one grows garlic. I was shocked by this.
He said he'd be the first to grow garlic in the whole village. He has of course lived many years in Sweden where I was born and raised before he moved back for his twilight years.
In Sweden garlic has been very common for my entire life, since at least 1985.
I can only speculate but it's likely that I had access to garlic due to global imports.
And it's also likely his fellow villagers, many in their 50s and older, aren't used to garlic because they didn't grow up with it.
