A tribute to Garlic!




A little diversion...



Apparently Gilroy, California is the garlic capital of the WORLD! Who knew?


Yup, it is true. Christine and I were driving through Gilroy last night from San Fran and it smelled like an Italian resturant! Since we had to back track a little this morning on our drive north to Oregon (Not oregano!), we decided to stop...and I present the following for your enjoyment!



We stopped at this place...GARLIC WORLD!!!!






Inside was a garlic lovers paradise....fresh garlic, diced garlic, pickled garlic, galic minced, garlic cloved, garlic braided, stuffed garlic, garlic powder, garlic spices, garlic graters, garlic storage containers, olives stuffed with garlic, garlic butter, garlic logo'd coffee mugs/clothes/hats.....



Well, you get it....if it was made of garlic, Garlic World had it!



Of all of the cool things in the store, this was my favorite: That is a Dean Martin Doll standing next to about an 18 inch tall plastic Garlic.






This place truly trumps the Pez Dispenser Museum!
