As Chubbs says - comes in a jar  usually around the cake ingredient section. Looks a bit like cocktail onions, but is in a syrup rather than vinegar.  Just the job for ginger cake.

Stem Ginger, like Alan McCormack, is Versatile.  Good substitute for when recipes say fresh ginger, though bit sweeter.

I think McCormack would get a bit stroppy if I tried whisking him with some eggs and baking him gently for 30 minutes.

But I think he'd be ok if he saw you getting stuck in. Ha ha.

Add flour and milk - give him a good battering.
