A gar? Am I to accept, as God's own truth, that the river's very own toothy and primordial brute was the one who took loaf into hand and licked this bread?

That must be why my crackers are stale.

Fun fact, it's called "garlic" because it's basically a gar-leek.

And the "gar" in both "garlic" and the fish name originates from the Old English term for "spear."

Call me crazy, but I'd say that the shape of a leek is much MORE spearlike than that of a garlic..

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Probably because of how much longer the full garlic plant is.

Do garfish even have tongues?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yarp, but not long enough to stick it out.

How much garlic would a gar lick if a gar could lick garlic?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

About a pound a week.

A gar would lick garlic if a gar could lick galic.
