I also love garlic, lots of garlic.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few weeks, I\u2019ve noticed a sudden influx of <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Mad-for-Garlic-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>the\u00a0quintessential Korean ingredient. It\u2019s garlic harvest time on the peninsula. Trucks, carts, and stalls loaded with wonderful, huge, aromatic fresh bulbs are everywhere. The scent of garlic permeates our local market making everything smell like, well . . . garlic. No complaints from me.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been told that Korea consumes more garlic per capita than any other country.<\/p>\n<p>But more than Italy? Not sure who to believe but it doesn\u2019t really matter. I\u2019m living in country of maneul lovers.<\/p>\n<p>A country that honors a vegetable &#8211; it\u2019s in the onion and shallot family &#8211; that\u2019s so\u00a0much more than just an underground root-like,\u00a0\u201cbulbish\u201d plant. It\u2019s a superfood. A healthy, magical (ok, slight\u00a0exaggeration) culinary delight enjoyed around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Koreans have garlic festivals, garlic restaurants, garlic drinks, cured garlic (called black garlic), and in 2000 they even had a\u00a0\u201cGreat Garlic War.\u201d Thankfully the trade dispute with China ended peacefully, but tension still remains. Koreans are serious about their garlic. And they like it homegrown.<\/p>\n<p>So, the next time you enjoy a tasty clove of garlic or smell the fragrant vegetable cooking in your local\u00a0restaurant, think about Korea and start planning your trip to the ROK.\u00a0You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Garlic-at-market.jpeg\" alt=\"Garlic at market\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"480\" width=\"580\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nedforney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Garlic-menu.jpeg\" alt=\"Menu from &quot;Mad for Garlic&quot;\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"298\" width=\"640\"  \/><br \/>\n\t\tMenu from &#8220;Mad for Garlic&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s all about garlic.
