[INDOLOGY] garlic and onion query

[Walter Slaje]

Among recent studies on the subject, I would recommend

Patrick Olivelle, Food for Thought. Dietary rules and social organization
in ancient India. [2001 Gonda Lectures]. Amsterdam 2002.

Toru Yagi, A Note on *bhojya*- and *bhakṣya*-. In: A Study of the Nīlamata
– Aspects of Hinduism in Ancient Kashmir. Ed. by Yasuke Ikari. Kyoto 1994:
377-397.

Ego ex animi mei sententia spondeo ac polliceor
studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.
