Eating Ginger

I like to take my ginger with nuts

We have a lot of stem ginger in curry and stir fries. It’s best in cake but that defeats the objective!

I don't know how much of an "old wives' tale" it is but eating ginger is supposed to help with nausea. I think it was suggested as a way to alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness.

I love crystallised ginger.

I had some nausea after a bout of Covid. I went to a pharmacy in a supermarket and the pharmacist told me to buy some ginger nut biscuits - she said they would be as good as anything she could give me without a prescription. The placebo effect was great - I felt much better after eating them without any guilt!

Just remembered a nice trout and ginger recipe. From memory stuff the fish with chives and ginger and bake. It can be made faux oriental with soy like this one.

I've been smashing home-made flapjacks recently which are about 8-10% raw ginger by mass off the top of my head. Goes well with dark chocolate and orange, and (IMO) isn't overpowering. Approximate recipe in this thread

I had to read back a few posts!

Wrong image I conjured in my head

You don't actually need to take ginger orally if you don't like the taste of the stuff. You can take it as an anal suppository. Some people do so as treatment for their haemorrhoids.

Others use a similar technique for (ahem) "recreational purposes".

The mind boggles at such human ingenuity.

Yes indeed!

Personally, I've never even liked Ginger Nuts but some peoples' obsession with Superfoods knows no limit.
