One of the traditional, and attractive, ways to present garlic is in a braid. However, before you can get to braiding, you need to get rid of all of the dirt, mud, roots and excess flaky bits.
Beware, this is a rather dusty, messy business, so make sure there is newspaper down or you have a good dustpan and brush. Then braid away! I used the instructions here.
Finally, take gratuitous photos!

Yummy, I adore garlic. I recently came across a French recipe in an Elizabeth David recipe (in Summer Cooking I think) for chicken on a bed of 2-3lb of garlic! The garlic is then eaten like a vegetable with the chicken. Joanne Harris also has a great looking recipe for garlic soup in one of her books.
Me too! Roasted garlic is simply wonderful - I spread it on toast and then avoid people for 24-48 hours!
