Why do you think that garlic is required for winter survival? Honestly, that seems like kind of an odd connection to make
-
No idea. My cousin died last month because he didn't eat enough garlic this winter.
-
There are dozens of casualties. DOZENS!!

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?
-
Nor is it in Germany. I'm very confused why garlic would be necessary to survive cold weather.

Don't have to worry about survival when you're technically already dead
-
Nice try priest but you will have to try harder than that!
-
The same way people in the Americas survived without it for thousands of years.
-
They drink blood I guess.
-
Much like every other season, they avoid sunlight.

Garlic is not required to survive winter.
Found the vampire.
I'm pale because the sun sets in November.
Someone's never experienced a rough winter.
I am Canadian.
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.
Only if you’re okay with bland soups.
There are other spices.
