Right you are.  The two are in the same family of rhizomes, and that's where the similarities
stop, as far as I'm concerned.  However, I feel compelled to contribute this opinion, as well...
If you cannot get fresh galingal, omit it completely.  The dried or powdered form is a very poor
substitute for fresh galingal.  As a matter of opinion (not fact), they do not taste anything
alike.
