From ancient Greek lore to vampire movies and modern medicine, what other herb invokes such strong feelings in people as allium sativum-better known as garlic?

A Miscellany of Garlic reveals all of the splendors of this amazing plant, including:

  • to keep them safe and strong, Egyptian slaves chewed on garlic while building the pyramids
  • eating garlic can help repair lung damage caused by smoking
