Garlic & Ginger

[Pirate]

No...not a new act on x-factor or dancing on ice

In your personal opinion, when cooking, should you use fresh garlic and ginger, or is it alright to use the lazy stuff straight from the jar

[Miss Demeanour]

Fresh garlic every time - ginger I'm not so fussed

[Pirate]

Yeah...I normally grate fresh garlic and ginger on my 'mediterranean' (okay yah) grater, but tonight...I am trying the easy stuff, a spoonful of each in a curry.  Two chances

[Just One More]

Fresh every time.

The only time I used the jars was to do follow a recipe that a Malaysian friend gave me. The food was that good that I wanted to replicate exactly what she did, it worked, but the smell from the jars wasn't as nice as the fresh stuff

[Barman]

Fresh.

[Bar Wench]

The fresh stuff. I do have the stuff in tubes from the chiller cabinet for when I really can't be bothered but you can tell the difference.

Always fresh ~ well as fresh as anything ever is from a supermarket ..... which is not actually very fresh.
Like to grow me own ..... now that does taste better.

Where do you stand on manure?

[Snoopy]

Usually in wellingtons and to one side of the midden.
