Definitely more than five cloves to a head of garlic, and all heads of
garlic are not created equal.

I never really think about how many garlic cloves are in a head, either.
I just buy nice looking heads of garlic, plump, not dried out.

Something is tugging at my memory. A long ago recipe for chicken
calling for 40 cloves of garlic... I have no idea how many heads of
garlic that would be. LOL
