Ginger is a wonderful root. And I figured that...hey...why not waste bandwidth with it?
I love it. Ginger is a wonderful anti-nausea medication. It's also anti-inflammatory with good anti-arthritic properties. It's relaxing without being sedating. And it tastes yummy.
I make a tea of a teaspoon of dried ginger, a teaspoon of honey, and boiling water. Makes me

I have been known to use a hand-sized ginger in a single chicken dish and finish it in the one sitting..

Ginger is great. Especially if you got the poo-bums or the sick-tums
In fact its just great for digestion anyway. I like it in a nice veggie stir fry with lemon!! mmmm!

ginger actually makes me nauseus
i can handle a hint of it in food but that's about it.
if i chew on even a shred of it, i end up making that whiskey face until the taste subsides.
garlic rocks though

I'm with ya cole, it is quite rank. I still remember the first time I ate it presuming I'd like it because I like ginger nut biscuits, so took a big bite out of a fat chunk and nearly blew chunks all over the posh restaurant!
I can drink ginger beer but only little bits at a time

Ginger tastes like soap to me.
I'm with Cole and Dunc on this one.
Wasabi yes, ginger no. That's how I like my sushi.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Omg! I ADORE ginger, especially crystallised. A few months ago I got a bit addicted to the point of munching through a kilo a week. Unfortunately since I have been preg this time I have gone right off it, so I haven't even been able to take advantage of the anti nausea bit
Incidentally, for those of you that cannot stomach ginger, I have found some amazing lollies called Preggy Pops (
). They also do some called Queasy Pops but they are basically the same thing. Anti nausea lollies made with essential oils. They really work- even people on chemotherapy say they have helped them. I bought some to try and now keep a stash in the car and my medicine box for when my littlies get ill. They are quite dear but in my opinion worth it. XLenX
