I'm thinking that we need to end this conversation before I start looking like
a complete idiot.  My shallots looked like onion sets, except a bit larger. 
I've never actually SEEN a shallot before, so if they are in cloves, that's
news to me.  So if they are in cloves, I think the safe answer is no, I didn't
separate them.
