Er... Cubs. *laughs* It was just whatever garlic was offered
in the bulk bin at the grocery store, I don't remember if they had any
specific labeling about its origin or not. But this particular garlic
was medium to small, but with large cloves. It was oddly lumpy, not
as evenly filled out as some heads of garlic can be. I'm not familiar
with all the variations in variety. The regular grocery store I go
to doesn't offer more than one kind, so I just grabbed maybe half a
dozen heads on a previous occasion when I needed garlic.
