I would eat them but have worries about propagating from them? I know virus can distort leaves so maybe it can distort plant below ground?

Perhaps there are some quality issues this year, one bulb of my Solent Wight was pretty rotted. If the variety has Wight in the name it all comes from that one farm on the Isle of Wight. I'd plant the cloves from that one anyway if they're still firm to the touch, they look nice and fat and could give you some big bulbs.Morning TMTT

For clarity I wasn't really concerned just curious as I'd never seen them look like that before, the individual cloves are fine
