Unit of measurement

We had a potluck at work today. Everybody brought something, some brought more than one thing. It was fun. We had lots of food. Among the pickings are: rotisseri chicken, chicken masala, pasta salad, lassagne, corn beef, california rolls, roasted pepper salad, magarita cheesecake, snicker doodles, cubed cantalopes, shrimp cocktail and soda. There were 8 of us total and as you can probably tell ... we really loaded up on the food.

Everything was good, except we felt that the roasted pepper and pasta salads were too garlic-y. The guy who made them followed the recipes accordingly too. We didn't figured out the reason until after our whole meal and we were cleaning up. Turns out he thought a clove of garlic was what the rest of us considers a whole bulb. Good thing he didn't get his recipes from the Stinking Rose, whose signature dish is their famous 40-clove garlic chicken!
