This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

There's a particular variety of Chinese garlic that grows as a singular bulb. It originates in the Yunnan province, I think. I remember my mother growing it back when I was a child. It's really nice!
All garlic looks like this if its been harvested too early.

Ah cool! I only recalled the name "Kinesisk luftlök" but I wasn't sure if it was the same thing. Thanks for the link.
Hade aldrig hört luftlök! Det brukar stå supersolo där jag bor.
Jag är inte helt säker på att det är samma sak, heller. Min mor odlade en hel del olika grejer, och jag minns specifikt en hel del lökar och kål från Kina.
