Bet the last time you bit into a ginger snap you took it entirely for granted, not for a minute pausing to reflect on how for thousands and thousands of years human beings have been enjoying that same flavour: the zing and heat of ginger.
Ginger has a longer history than most spices known to us today. And as Anna McNamee found out when she met Andrew Dalby, a food historian and the author of Dangerous Tastes - this is largely because our forebears quickly discovered just how easy ginger root is to transport over long distances and then transplant.
