In our family too, there are a few who avoid garlic and onion on grounds of orthodoxy.

I too am a strict vegetarian and avoid even cake but I personally feel that if milk and honey, which are both animal products, can be certified clean why this taboo against onion and garlic especially when these are known to be good for health. I am not ready to accept the common belief that these stir up baser instincts in people.
