  Also ginger.

  And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.

    Ginger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?

        So is a potato wood? A carrot?

        Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.

  You using a different kind of sumac than the rest of us? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac#In_food

    I stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.

    The bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.
