Really2 also said spuds would be a better investment than silver.
You go ahead and invest in veg if you want but know this, you are missing one important point -

No you couldnt they would have gone off by now and have to be thrown away.
You need something that is a store of value.
Also veg are in plentiful supply, silver is more rare than gold.
I think you might have just missed the sense of irony in Hamish's thread.0 -

We don't need maths, or logic, or common sense, when we have a blind belief in the magical powers of our little stinky moneymaking friend, garlic....
All hail the mighty garlic bulb, destroyer of ponzi currency, true store of wealth, and slayer of silver.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I think a lot of investors have been stung by this, and are simply walking away from sub-prime garlic. Many traditional British banks still won't touch it.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Hamish knows what he is talking about, he will be proved right sooner than you think.
Let everyone remember what Hamish said "Gold and silver are going to crash soon 100% guaranteed" and appologise to him when he will be proved right very soon.
You are far better off investing in garlic or any nice round vegetables for that matter!0
