This Year's Garlic Crop Is In

When you cross the street you are in danger of being hit by a load of garlic nowadays.  It comes by truck.


It comes by donkey cart.


And the price is reasonable - 2 EGP for a kilo.  Figure that at about ten cents per pound.  How many kilos would you like? Unfortunately, garlic is one of the items expressly forbidden to bring into the U.S. I don't think it would take those luggage sniffing beagles long to discover a suitcase full of garlic.


How many pounds can you get into a donkey cart?  200?  That would give you $20 - not a bad day's income if you can sell it all.
