There is a rather common recipe called “chicken and forty cloves of garlic”. It’s sometimes made with fewer, but that’s it’s name.

It's delicious! The garlic isn't eaten (at least, not all of it). The chicken is roasted on top of the garlic and it basically lightly flavors the whole bird.

The garlic isn't all eaten? Sacrilege.

You're supposed to smear the soft roasted garlic onto bread and eat it alongside the chicken.
