LETTER: Not a whiff of decent garlic
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr R. P. Warner
Sir: I wonder whether any of your readers have noticed the recent decline in the flavour strength of garlic sold by our supermarkets. It is some while since I last visited France, but lingering still is that evocative taste of garlic.
What has happened? Have the mega-grocers grown an English EU version of garlic: palely halfhearted compared with that essential taste of Europe?
Yours faithfully,
R. P. WARNER
