Well, I've found out that it is a member of the Lily family (along with the onion, shallot, and chive), it's not a herb (because herbs denote something green), and it's not a spice (because wikipedia says so). So, basically because garlic doesn't fit into any other category it's most closely related to a vegetable.
But let's get to the important stuff...
Garlic festivals are all around us! Look into it, you probably live near one. Strictly based on witty alliteration, The Gilroy Garlic Festival, held in Gilroy, California seemed like a fun festival to learn about. This festival is complete with garlic favoured ice cream, garlic braiding workshops, and a Miss Garlic Gilroy Festival Queen (she has to perform a Garlic Speech, believe it or not. )
Roasted Garlic:
Cut the top off of the little clovies, spritz with oil and seasonings, cover in tinfoil and then bake it for 30-35 mins at 400 degrees.
(*Be sure to have gum on hand)
