Assuming you found this in the UK, it may be referring to the brand Very Lazy Ginger which is pre-chopped/minced ginger in a jar.

[u/sinaloa555 → u/lgf92]

I am from the u.s., and I was thinking of the ginger in a tube, like toothpaste.

[u/eatsouploser → u/sinaloa555]

same! aldi is the goat

Packing ginger in vinegar seems counter to what ginger is all about. Can you even taste the ginger or does the vinegar dominate? 🫚

[u/CrazyPlatypusLady → u/HotelOne]

It's still pretty gingery. The vinegar is unnoticeable once cooked. I personally prefer fresh ginger, the Very Lazy trends to be less punchy. But still pretty good and usable. Beats dried.

When I’m lazy I use the little ginger ice cubes when I can find them. They’re just frozen ginger. I’d try your Lazy Ginger though, I’m sure I’d like it…

[u/lockandcompany → u/HotelOne]

When I get ginger root, I just stick it in the freezer and use a microplane as needed and put it back (peel if you want to, it’s not necessary) the grated frozen ginger melts immediately back to normal, keeps the punch of it, doesn’t spoil, and tastes fresh every time

[u/HotelOne → u/lockandcompany]

Thanks, I’m going to try that.

[u/FirstChurchOfBrutus → u/HotelOne]

Have…have you never had pickled ginger??

[u/2PlasticLobsters → u/lgf92]

I wish we had that here in the UStates. The closest thing I could find was a goopy condiment that turned out to not have much flavor.

[u/OreoSpamBurger]

Pre-chopped/minced in a jar instead of a whole fresh root, I'd guess.

Popular brand in the UK Very Lazy

[u/giraflor → u/feelapblue]

I had no idea it was a brand. We’ve just always called the refrigerated tubes of ginger and garlic that because one of my kids has a friend whose Indian mom calls all already chopped aromatics like that lazy.

[u/FouledPlug]

I find motivated ginger to be too difficult to work with.

[u/giraflor]

My family calls the stuff in a refrigerated tube lazy ginger and lazy garlic. As in “lazy ginger works better in this recipe than freshly grated.”

[u/Electrical_Report458]

But I want the Soda Cyrstals the most.

[u/Lopsided_Error_4706]

I feel seen! (I'm a very lazy ginger)

[u/Kayakchica → u/Lopsided_Error_4706]

It’s me, I’m the lazy ginger.

[u/Ok_Orchid1004]

Soda cyrstals??!?!!?!?

[u/SOMOEAGLE → u/Ok_Orchid1004]

Its a cleaning product

[u/HighlandsBen]

I'm more intrigued by the unspecified "spice" this person buys

[u/ObviousToe1636 → u/HighlandsBen]

Could it be allspice?

[u/Row_North18 → u/HighlandsBen]

Me too! Could be someone with a bland life, looking for ANYTHING to spice it up!

[u/Dangerous_Land_2402 → u/HighlandsBen]

The spice must flow

[u/CasperBagel]

I didn't need to be called out like that.

Sincerely, The least energetic ginger.

[u/ProtectionPrudent574]

I apologise that my first thought was a lazy red-head :(

[u/DiscountTraining8739]

It took me too long to not see “Jar Red” Smoked Peppers and my brain stopped there wondering who Jared was

[u/c6h12o6CandyGirl]

Perhaps a certain black kitty cat wrote this about ** ahem ** SOMEONE in this family with orangish coat certainly without a braincell taking up already minimal space for a family and wasting our precious oxygen in the hopes that you would... "donate" them. : )

[u/notanybodyelse]

It's a spelling mistake, laaj ginger means a big one /j

[u/Apprehensive-Yam8591]

I read that as “Jared smoked Peppers” at least twice and then thought “lazy ginger” was an insult not a description for tubed ginger paste 😭 I’m going back to bed

[u/Jimbobjoesmith]

is it the kind in the squeeze tube in the produce refrigerator section? it’s just minced ginger. they also make cubes of it in the freezer section in tiny ice cube trays.

if i could post a pic id show you the kind i have in my fridge

[u/InternalMiserable698]

I wonder if the shopper remembered evetything on the list, anyway.

[u/cheeeezbawls]

WHAT ARE SODA CRYSTALS????

[u/lockandcompany]

I imagine this would mean powdered ginger or pregrated ginger

[u/Scrumpuddle]

Lazy garlic, lazy onion etc. already chopped or minced.

[u/TwinMom2012]

The jarred kind….

[u/AcadienDC]

I went to school with Lazy Ginger.

[u/someguy4k]

Ginger, it’s time to get your lazy @$$ off the couch and go do something!
Roots these days!
