Last night guess what I bought off a man in the pub?
Popped into a couple of my locals last night before wending my weary way home and one had a sort of brick-a-brack stall outside in the courtyard.

Whenever you read a recipe it always suggests using fresh ginger or fresh garlic. I'm sort of feed up using fresh garlic and ginger, firstly because its labour intensive to peel and chop and secondly, a lot of it goes to waste in our house as I'm the only one who eats it.
