Monster Ginger

The shopping list said "Ginger".

What I didn't realise was that most people break a few sprigs off the big bit in the supermarket, not buy the lot!

I actually thought this was a pile of poop when I first saw the pic.

That's a lot of ginger. More than I buy and I use it for cooking Japanese food every other day.

It does freeze quite well though...

I'd probably have done that too.I reckon I'd use a 'bulk buy, better value' excuse if asked why I bought that much :-)

Yeah. That's altogether the kind of thing I do all the time.

I once bought an artichoke cos I thought it looked great but I hadn't a clue what it was. I thought it was some kind of exotic fruit!

Tell the truth Alan..That is really a pic of your hands folded gently on your lap as you as you tap your foot and humm along to Beethoven's 5th...

As noted, it does freeze well. I always put mine into the freezer and when I need it just take it out frozen and grate it and put it back. The amount you have will last forever!

Hallo, ich habe eine Weile für eine neue Wanderausrüstung gespart, aber die Preise in den Geschäften hier in der Schweiz waren einfach zu hoch. Ein Kollege von meinem Wanderclub hat mir spinmama empfohlen und die speziellen Boni für Spieler aus der Schweiz hervorgehoben. Der Anfang war hart, eine Reihe kleiner Verluste hat mich fast entmutigt. Schließlich habe ich mich entschieden, einen etwas höheren Einsatz in einem Spiel mit Bergthema zu riskieren und einen riesigen Gewinn erzielt. Das hat mir erlaubt, die perfekte Ausrüstung für die Schweizer Alpen zu kaufen. Für Leute in der Schweiz, die nach einer zusätzlichen Chance suchen, ist dieser Ort einen Blick wert.
