G is for Garlic, Gazpacho and Ginger

Would any of these be your choices? Do you have another dish that would fit 'G is for' ?
Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

G is for Garlic
Highly valued throughout the ages as a culinary spice, garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. The garlic bulb is the most commonly used portion of the plant, composed of 8-20 individual, teardrop shaped cloves enclosed in a white parchment-like skin. It is an excellent source of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). It is also a very good source of manganese, selenium and vitamin C. In addition, garlic is a good source of other minerals, including phosphorous, calcium, potassium, iron and copper.
A favourite recipe that uses garlic is 
Pork Stroganoff

G is also for Gazpacho
Gazpacho is a soup made of raw vegetables and served cold, usually with a tomato base, originating in the southern Spanish region of Andalucía, which some spell with a c, while others use an s.

G is for Ginger
Ginger is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have powerful benefits for your body and brain... it also has such a wonderful warm flavour.
Perfect for this Ginger Loaf, why not enjoy a slice with butter.

Ginger loaf, I have not made one of those but I love making bread. Might have to try that. As for garlic, my thoughts are if you put garlic in it, its good. And the smell while its cooking...I love it.

And - Ginger is also the International Herb Association's "Herb of the Year". It's full of much good stuff and goes with pretty much everything.
