Ransoms and Bear's Garlic make a good start!
There is an interesting mix of tales and snippets with a garlic theme.
- A tale from the Odyssey in which our hero avoids being turned into a pig by having wild garlic leaves tucked behind his ear
- A strike by Ancient Egyptian pyramid builders who wanted fair pay in the form of their garlic ration
- Garlic eaten to protect travellers from mountain tigers in Korea
- Gar is old Keltic for spear and leac for leek so a spear onion
- Allium Ursinum or bear's garlic because bears like digging up the bulbs!
