Atomic Ginger

You may be familiar with the curiously strong ginger ales that result when the producers insist on cramming the equivalent of 25 grams (close to 1 oz) of fresh ginger into a standard bottle of the stuff. Imagine then concentrating a similar amount of ginger into a mere ball of ice cream sorbet .. the result brings colour to your face and sweat to your brow:


This concocted was served me as dessert at the Restaurant la Croix-Fédérale in Hermance, Switzerland along the southern shore of Lac Léman close to the border to France.

Yes, I know this is yet another post of me not cooking, but I don't have functioning kitchen in my new apartment yet - a subject I'll probably return in later posts.
