I'm strong, but I'm not known for my good looks.
I'm popular with the ladies, especially good cooks.
I'm thin-skinned from my head to my toes.
Some see me in the paper and turn up their nose,
Because I'm famous as "The Stinking Rose."
Who, or what, am I?

Answer
It's garlic. Its head can be separated into individual toes or cloves. The 'paper' is the thin skin throughout the head of garlic. It is called "The Stinking Rose." Garlic has a fan club called "Lovers of the Stinking Rose" and there's a restaurant in San Francisco called The Stinking Rose, where every dish has garlic in it, even the ice cream.Hide Answer Show Answer
