g'day david,

we might have to beg to differ on that aspect, ginger is ginger, and
as one hears from tv cooks some say it is stronger flavour some say
not as for me it serves the same purpose.



Have you tried both ginger and galangal in cooking? If not don't believe the
commentators. To my taste you cannot use them interchangeably, the flavour is
so different unless you knew they were related you wouldn't guess from the
flavour. But as you say, we must agree to disagree. De gustibus non est
disputandum.
