Bit of garlic
I believe the answer is:
clove
'bit of garlic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for clove that I've seen before include "Spice, used whole or ground" , "A small bulb as of garlic" , "Garlic segment" , "A spice; a garlic bulb" , "Split; spice" .)
