[Mishmash] Ginger Beer and Arnott's Cookies

[Robyne Kerr]

>Fred, Ginger beer is very easy to make but explodes quite regularly 
>in the making so plastic bottles are recommended and store in a 
>place where it doesn't matter if the do explode. Ginger nuts are 
>very hard and most people dunk them but children love them. Ginger 
>is good for the stomach as well, so they are a good snack food when 
>travelling.
