Depends on what sort of flavour I want. I don't mix it with other sauces though. Apparently that's a North American thing to mix it with soya, though I can't recall where I heard that. I will put a little bit on some ginger to have after my sushi, but rarely.

I used to dislike ginger, but now I'm slowly teaching myself to like it because of the health benefits.

I'm Filipino myself, and we have this rice porridge called arroz caldo that's boiled with fresh strips of ginger. I actually quite like it, it's delicious.

Ginger is very good for you, as is turmeric.
I started taking turmeric pills but it upset my stomach, so now I just season my food with it. I use it when I make tuna salad, or fish.

Arroz caldo sounds delicious.

One spice I do not like much is rosemary.

I have discovered Passata and it's my new favourite thing! I have problems with tomatoes in general but the strained stuff (which apparently is always in a glass jar and never touches metal) is working out quite well! I'd almost use it to replace ketchup (not that I eat much ketchup.)

Yum, sounds good! I love anything tomatoes anyway - I definitely have to try it. It's different from normal tomato sauce, I suppose? A bit healthier sounding too.

Something I discovered recently that is tomato-related is sun dried tomatoes. Heavenly. I like to put it on my toast with a bit of pesto as well.

Also, anyone here try sushi burritos? I just got a job as a sushi burrito roller.

Never tried a sushi burrito. I imagine it would taste more or less like sushi, but with whatever is used by way of a tortilla. I am fond of rice wraps, though.

Passata to me tastes fresher than tomato sauce, and it supposed to be lower in acid content. I have troubles with some foods and sometimes it's acid. It works for me. Apparently you can more-or-less make it with regular tomatoes and a cheese grater. Just avoid getting skin and seeds into it.

I took my first crack at a bruschetta sort of thing for a party and it worked quite well! Just Roma tomatoes, olive oil, salt & pepper, basil, and flat leave parsley. I added a can of diced tomatoes (after meticulously cutting and seeding my romas) when I found out I didn't have enough. Could get my hands on any proper bread but my cousin's stepdaughter had some baguettes and neatly arranged little bite sized bits and put them in the oven. Was popular!
