I know that the Chinese and Asian cultures had candied ginger.  It's
supposed to help the stomache digest/take pain out, but it's never work
for me.  Also, I didn't think it tasted that great.  Give me tootsie
rolls anyday!  (Just limit my intake...I gotta get into my swimsuit this
weekend.  Ewwww)  Ekaterina
