Does anyone know why Tulbaghia violacea is called "Society Garlic" in 
the USA? I've just interviewed Joy Larkcom about her new book, The 
Organic Salad Garden (published here by Frances Lincoln, and a LOVELY 
book). She mentions in it that T. violacea is edible (although I 
don't think I could bear to part with a bit of it unless someone 
really special was coming to dinner!). She wasn't sure why it is 
called Society Garlic, but mooted that it might be that it doesn't 
leave an odour on your breath, as normal garlic does.

I have only a handful of American plant books here, and none helps. 
Can any of you help?

Thanks
