LETTER: Goodbye to garlic

From Mr Conrad Cork

Sir: I was most heartened to see from Eve Wittenberg's "True Gripe" (15 August) that I am not alone in my inability to eat onions and garlic.

Throughout my life this problem has crippled my ability to eat away from home, and thus to travel, as well as to entertain.

However, living as I now do in Leicester, I have been delighted to discover that in Gujerati cooking, there is a long and honourable vegetarian tradition that entirely eschews onions and garlic.

Yours sincerely,

Conrad Cork

Leicester

15 August
