When I tried to deconstruct the recipe I added the ginger with the raw batter it
turned out weird. It affected the texture and the taste. The brownies were more
cake-like and the chocolate flavour faded. I dared to complain about my results
to the baker and she said to add the ginger chunks later. That worked.

I don't know why I thought it would be a bad combination. Somewhere along the
line I acquired a tasted for chocolate dipped ginger. That stuff is addictive.
