We eat the green leaves of garlic when they are immature. Also whole fried garlics are a side dish for many restaurants here.
@mur2501 We buy garlic in bulbs, there's never green leaves present here. And whole fried garlics is probably a bit too much for me. :D
But I love to have a lot of cloves through a meal! Usually I'd probably add 4 or 5 cloves of garlic here. Now it's 2 very big cloves, I can live with that.
Of course, it does depend on which kind of meal it is. But I'm of opinion it's perfect in paella!
@mur2501
You sure? We export so much that most of the food we eat is imported. :P

Can't really understand the agricultural section
Your country makes 1/3 of world's chillis?
@mur2501
Lessee..
"One-third of the world's exports of chilis, tomatoes and cucumbers goes through the country. The Netherlands also exports one-fifteenth of the world's apples."
Looks like the world decided en-masse to trade through us. We don't farm this. 🌍
"Aside from that, a significant portion of Dutch agricultural exports consists of fresh-cut plants, flowers, and flower bulbs, with the Netherlands exporting two-thirds of the world's total."
Here it looks like we mostly personally export flower-related stuff. 🌷
A little bit back...
"The Dutch rank first in the European Union and second worldwide in value of agricultural exports, behind only the United States"
We're known as a nation of traders since about the 17th century, clearly hasn't changed now. :) 🥈
But it is true. Most of our farmers are creating food for export. That's why we have to import good for us. I'm not sure either where the logic is.
@trinsec
Maybe Dutch economy doesn't work on logic?
Also you will be underwater in a century so just replace the weed with some seaweed ![]()
@mur2501
Then we'll become a beach resort. :P
I've always wanted a house at the water!
@trinsec
I don't think the cold waters of Netherlands is a good place for a beach resort.
@mur2501 Even better! More space for me!
Though with the climate change I'm sure we'll get warmer eventually, even though we'll get cold feet! :P
@trinsec
It seems so according to some lists, though you are not in the list of significant producers of agriculture
