garlic strung up on the balconies of apartments and houses. They are acquired in the markets in spring, while still green, and with their long stalks attached; They are stored thus unril the husks dry and whiten, and the cloves can be easily detached from the head. This way, a whole year's supply of garlic is a^ sured.
By howi \yell into summer, th^y are ready to be used and they are used lavishly. Garlic is an ancient favorite of Jewish cooks. When the "mixt multitude", that w as wandering in Sinai, fell to luisting after the foods they had known and enjoyed in Egypt, one of the things they mentioned was garlic.
The distinguished Bible commentator Nehama Leibowitz once caused laughter when she . said:
"And what did the Children of Israel yearn for, after they had been freed from their bondage and had witnessed so many wonders?... Of all things — garlic!"
When the Children of Israel reached the hilly country in Canaan, they-would probably have found garlic, (sham in _Hebrew) growing wild, as it is still to be found today. This type of garlic grows abundantly in the hills around Jerusalem, It resembles green onions, and has a much more delicate aroma, and is not nearly as pungent as the . cultivated variety of gar-\\c. If you can find some, it is wonderful chopped into green salads or sprinkled on cottage cheese.
Here are two delicious-ly garlicky inventions of mine; They are equally good either hot or cold, but it is not advisable to
