I'm Chinese and I HATE ginger. It is absolutely the most disgusting thing in the world. Yet whenever my mom cooks, she will use it in everything! I can't even get her to mince it so that I don't accidentally bite into a big chunk of it in a stew or something (which I end up doing 90 percent of the time, ruining the rest of the meal for me.) Does anyone else agree that ginger is the most god awful thing ever to exist in the culinary world? Also ironically I love mayo, whereas most of my white friends hate it for some reason.

>> No.4012577

No. There's something wrong with you.

>> No.4012578

Not if it's used properly, I guess.

>> No.4012586

ginger is great, but can often overpower other more subtle flavors.
when i use it, i find that taking it to a fine cheese grater works well, and you won''t get the chunks you complain of. The flavors become more unified and "infused" if you will, and i'd say that grating it takes less time than chopping it.
remember to use it sparingly, a little goes a long way

Thank god my mom only cooked asian stuff like 4 days a week. I grew to like it when I was older but never in the quantitites she liked it in.

Mayo is the pus from boils on a demon's taint...

My annoyance with ginger compares little to my hatred of cilantro there's this ramen bar here that puts it in their ramen, it's fucking infuriating.

>> No.4012608

Dude, raw ginger, or even just cooked chunks, have an intense, spicy, almost astringent flavor which would be over powering for anyone other than ginger lovers. It sounds like you've got an ingredient rivalry to hash out.

I hate most ginger items except for it subtly placed in desserts.

But I keep reading online about people using it as a sexual item, they carve the skin/hard part off and use the raw whole ginger as a quasi dildo, anal and vaginal. Supposedly it's intense and awesome as fuck. I want to try but always forget to pick up ginger in the store.

You need to condition yourself to acquire the taste for it.

Jesus christ son, stop eating so fucking fast and you won't accidentally bite into it.

Or can't you tell a piece of ginger... from anything else?

That said I work at a Chinese restaurant and our staff meals are usually ginger-heavy. I'm a big fan but most of the front of house staff (whities, all of them) can't handle the ginger. Ginger and anise, actually, is a specific combo that makes most of them sick.

Tell her to freeze it.

Frozen ginger will come off in almost a powder when you slice it. Then you can chop it afterwards, and you'll never bite down on it again, but you still get that delicious ginger flavour.

I feel the same way about garlic. My dad especially always seems to get the one huge, uncut chunk in his soup. It's a great flavor, but OP's mom really needs to learn to grate/mince that stuff small.
