>Has Vlad ever mentioned anything similar to garlic bread? If not, he >should. Valabars probably makes excelent garlic bread :o) In a manner of speaking. During one of his visits to Noish-pa (either _Tekla_ or _Phoenix_) Vlad describe Noish-pa frying a piece of bread in a pan, then rubbing it with a clove of garlic (presumably roasted from the use he's making of it) and biting into the garlic just before taking a bite of the bread.
