    Garlic is not required to survive winter.

        I’m pale because the sun sets in November.

      Only if you’re okay with bland soups.

        There are other spices.

      Someone’s never experienced a rough winter.

          The majority of the world doesn’t have access to maple syrup blood infusions - we can’t give out our miracle cure to everyone.

            That’s a them problem for not planting sugar maples. We tried to tell them, but nOOOooo, they just had to use corn syrup. Enjoy your bland pancakes.

        Minnesota, here. -50°F isn’t common, but it happens once or twice a winter.

        Winters are getting warmer, though. Might as well live in Florida, these days. The coldest it got this week was -5°F. Pathetic.

    No idea. My cousin died last month because he didn’t eat enough garlic this winter.

    Don’t have to worry about survival when you’re technically already dead

    don’t know about other countries, but in US and Japan, garlic is not traditionally mentioned as a winter/immunity support food.

    a more likely recommendation is oranges or citrus in general, for vitamin C.

    either way, humans usually survive common colds and regular influenza (in rich countries at least), so why wouldn’t vampires survive it?

    The same way people in the Americas survived without it for thousands of years.

    Much like every other season, they avoid sunlight.
