G is for ginger and a great tea time favourite for me, ginger flapjacks. This is such a quick and simple recipe, and very tasty.
Cook ginger flapjacks by given hints:
Just melt about 3 ounces of butter, 2 ounces of demerara sugar, half an ounce of Golden Syrup and half a level teaspoon of ground ginger in a saucepan , then add 4 ounces or rolled oats. Spread the mixture in a tin about quarter to half an inch thick and bake in a cool oven (300 degrees or gas mark 2) for around 45 minutes, then cut it into slabs the size you want them. Quick and easy.
Other foods beginning with G include garlic, which can be a little overpowering the next day if you add too much to your evening meal! Guacamole, pureed avocado flavoured with tomatoes, onion and chilli, and gateau, a dessert made with layers of sponge, fruit, jelly and lots of crream!
Things beginning with G that you might not associate with food and eating include:
gannets, a seabird that is not often eaten now, however the residents of a small Scottish island, St. Kilda, lived on seabirds and in particular gannets. St Kilda was evacuated in 1930 and now belongs to the National Trust, where it has become one of the major sea bredding stations in the North Atlantic,
guinea pig, widely eaten in South American countries,
gild, mostly associated with furniture, it is the gold coating applied to pieces, but in cooking it means to brush with egg yolk before baking to give a golden glaze,
goat, not often eaten in the UK but is said to be the most widely consumed meat in the world as it is a staple of Africa, Asia and south/central America, and
guard of honour, which is the term used when two racks of lamb are arranged back to back to form an arch or interlocking bones.
