And just two weeks ago I was surprised to find out that it has propagated well. Now I have some sufficient stock of galangal in the refrigerator. I'm also reserving some roots for planting when I home to our house in Pangasinan. As to the lemongrass, I have had no success in making it thrive in our garden; but we have clumps and clumps of it in our backyard in Pangasinan. Perhaps it has something to do with the soil. Help! I now have one surviving Kaffir lime plant here in Makati (the other one got injured and soon died). In Pangasinan, the two plants seem healthy (thought I think they grow oh so slowly). Please advise me what to do so that they will grow taller faster so that I may feel more confident about harvesting the leaves for my cooking. Thank you, Marketman, for your blog that also touches on our Southeast neighbor countries' cuisine and herbs and spices. For this I'm getting to know, understand, and "taste" my Asian heritage.

It is found in medaeval European recipes, one of my favourites beinb Melaches of Pork. (sort of a medaeval sausage quiche). I also like it with chicken dishes, and fish. I use a nutmeg grater on the dried slices of root. For some similar recipes, try the book Take a Thousand Eggs or More, or the following website: http://www.florilegium.org/ Have used dried galingale, both greater and lesser.
