Does Ginger Make You Feel Good?
I ask this question, as yesterday, I ran out of the Marks & Spencer’s gluten-free stem ginger snap biscuits.
So after buying some this morning, I have just had three biscuits dunked in tea for my lunch.
I sometimes eat as many as four packets a week, so out of curiosity I asked Google AI, the question in the title of this post and received this reply.
Yes, ginger can make you feel good due to its many benefits, including easing nausea and indigestion, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. It may also help relieve pain, boost energy levels, and promote relaxation, although it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional before taking supplements.
Google seems to be using this web page from Johns Hopkins Medicine, which is entitled Ginger Benefits, as a source.
I have a few extra thoughts about ginger.

I Don’t Generally Take Pain Killers
I have taken pain killers rarely in my life, but only when I get serious pain.
But since the cataract operation, I have felt a bit of light pain in my left eye.
So I’ve resorted to taking three of these large pain-killers.
Usually, I dunk them in a cup of tea.
I’ve always liked ginger and they have been my favourite biscuits since I was about six.
I also used to see a Jamaican nurse in a former GP practice for my B12 injections and she was fulsome in her praise for the spice and what it can do.
Dr. Google also finds evidence that they help.
However, who cares, so long as I think they work.
Are These The Perfect Gluten-Free Dunking Biscuit?
Marks and Spencer have recently launched some gluten-free ginger snaps.
I don’t think I’ve found a better dunking biscuit.
I wonder if they’d pass C’s test of breaking them into pieces on her left elbow, with her right hand?
On the other hand, she wouldn’t approve of the picture on the right!
The Versatile Potato
I bought a pack of Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free cheese crackers today.
Here’s the front and back of the packet.
The back with the ingredients is interesting as it says they are a potato based snack with Gouda cheese.
A Choice Of Biscuits
Well not really biscuits, but something to dip into hummus, cream cheese or act as a base for a snack.
A Choice Of Biscuits
I haven’t had a choice since I was diagnosed as a coeliac. Pre then, I used to like Ryvita with butter and marmalade on it.
Now I can try it again!
Both biscuits are delicious.
Obviously, the one on the left is from Marks and Spencer and the Free’d is available in the deli in the village. At present Free’d only seems to be available in London, although the product is made in the green hills of Derbyshire.
Spicy Ginger Crunchy Cookies From Kent And Fraser
I bought these Kent and Fraser biscuits in the Waitrose in the Brunswick Centre.

They were delicious and a real surprise.
They were also very good for dunking.
Gluten Free Biscuits For All The Family
That’s what it says on the packet of these Prewett’s chocolate bourbons, I bought this afternoon in Sainsbury’s.
Gluten Free Biscuits For All The Family
They are a bit more luxurious and chocolatey than the ones I remember from my days before going gluten-free.
But I doubt they would be for all the family, as someone would snaffle most of them!
