cepivorous (seh-PI-vohr-uhs) - adj., (rare) onion-eating.
alliaphagous (AL-ee-a-fay-djuhs) - adj., (rare) garlic-eating.
The first shows up in invective, especially of the extended erudite sort. The latter is from Latin allium, garlic, and I assume the former is also Latin roots, but I couldn't prove it at the moment.
Thanks, WikiMedia!
Mmmm, garlic.
