I use ginger in several dishes that I prepare, I have a ginger garlic paste that goes into many dishes. But most important of all the bell fruit juice I prepare has it and that makes a huge difference to that juice.
Mother used to prepare ginger preserve from tender ginger. It is a long drawn process. The skin had to be scraped off, and the ginger soaked in water for three days after pricking it with a fork all ovedr to remove its hotness. It is then cooked in sugar. This would be then stored in bottles
There is a syrup I prepare with just sugar and ginger which I pour on appams that I make. The flavour of ginger whets my appetite.

That is how many use it. Very rarely will someone eat ginger.

@allknowing I don't like eating ginger. Ginger is added to add flavor when cooking. When I eat, I pick out the ginger and throw it away.

You are right. It all boils down to what we are used to.

@allknowing Too much of anything in foods, makes an overpowering flavor.

I do like the flavor of ginger. But, as you said it can give a hot flavor if I use too much. I love ginger snap cookies!
