A matter of taste ... MORE [Restoring sense of taste and sense of

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeannie,

the food in England is pretty bland

but London has all kinds of food..

But it does seem spices are used the world over.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around not using garlic

and I'm thinking about what to do with my gingeroot.

I decided to be about 50-75% raw

yesterday

bought some baby bok choy to wok with some garlic & ginger and abit of

sesame-kids love that with red pepper

....but now

I have a feeling I will be holding garlic bulbs and possibly ginger

root in my hands in a catatonic state
