a positivist explanation

Observations of a provincial boy: I knew that there were many varieties of garlic, but when I opened the garlic bulb yesterday, a normal sized bulb, I was surprised to get these giant cloves. Ah america land of largeness... Hey! now that I think of it, this could also be another factor in the explanation why Italian cuisine in the US has so much garlic, (still have to check if it is true), it is not a matter of cultural identity, it is not that one connotating ingredient and taste, became totemized by a community, finally, it is not to scare off everybody else off from the lips of Italian maidens and young men. Nope, recipies remained the same, it was the garlic that was bigger.... as simple as that!
