years ago an old countryman pulled up a plant and scraped the bulbous root with his penknife and offered it to me telling me it was a pig nut. From what I can remember it was sweet and delicious. Has anyone else tried them and can you enlighten me on what the plant was ??

It's also illegal to dig up the plant without the land owners permission
