55 years ago I learned the difference between a bud of garlic and a clove of garlic when making turkey dressing.

Heheh. Garlic and turkey. When the missus was in hospital having our first (in the days they kept you in for 10 days), I was stuck with the whole 13lb Christmas turkey at home on my own (the hospital food was so terrible that I did smuggle significant quantities past the matron). Desperate for any variations on cold turkey I could muster, I looked at a turkey curry recipe in a cookery book. I duly prepared the aforementioned curry and it was delicious, pretty good for a novice cook, I thought. The missus did not agree. For the next three hospital visits she wouldn't let me anywhere near her. Garlic was oozing from my every pore. I'd thought that what the cookery book required, a garlic clove, had meant the whole head of garlic. I couldn't imagine how something as tiny as one of those segments could be anywhere near enough to add anything, so I peeled and used every clove. If I ever get stranded alone on a desert island I'd definitely make it again. Scrumptious!
