Etymology
Rocambole came into English from French as the name for a kind of garlic that is softer and more leek-like than regular garlic; it likely comes from older Spanish or Portuguese names for similar bulb plants. So, think of rocambole as a 'special kind of garlic' with a milder taste used like a leek.
