The bite of ginger is different from the bite of the peppers. I should re-comment on the bite for I can tell the difference between them. I am an Oriental foodie so my palate is different.
A good ginger ale will help alleviate the nauseous feeling from motion sickness whether you are on planes or ships.
There are dried ginger with a real bite that really works that I get at Chinese medicine shops. It is translated as "old raw ginger". No need to bite or chew, just a piece in your mouth like a cough candy.
