I don't see which country this post is referring to, so I'm gonna assume it's about New Zealand.

I think you meant required. Oh half an onion and two cloves? No sir whole onion 4 cloves.

The One Clove(tm)

Yeah I was gonna say, this is big even for elephant garlic but it's fairly widely available. The one time I tried it though, it tasted more onion-y than garlic-y to me, like a shallot or something

They really shine for things you want big pieces of garlic but not to be power blasted by garlic flavor. Like pico de gallo, or my favorite is sliced and shallow fried to turn them into chips

Tomato tomato

(I think that works better when spoken haha)

Honestly the ultra garlic supreme lasagna would be almost preferable to Domino's. If they'd said Little Caesars I'd actually eat the pasta al garlic.

That's only about twice the garlic I put in a baked ziti (lazy girl's lasagna)

It sounds like they made a perfectly normal lasagna. Were your guests vampires who can only pretend to eat pizza-shaped cardboard?
