Jerusalem artichokes - "Gone With The Wind!"

Felt pretty gutted today. Had a magnificent first crop from organic tubers bought at the market but after trying them boiled, roasted, chipped, mashed and souped (and delicious they were too) peeled/unpeeled we all had so many wind problems that I had to chuck a load (in the green bag....not the compost!)
Typical! Such a bad growing year but the artichokes were huge and numerous........

Sometimes you just have to admit defeat.     They grow annoyingly well here too, I've been trying to get rid of them for 4 years or is it 5..

I'll eat most things if they stand still long enough, all except JA's.

Apparently if you cook the fartichokes with winter savoury it stops this problem.

Im sure that's just propaganda created by the JA appreciation society. 

Hold the page!

I'm about to eat a JA gratin, will update with results later!

Are you sure it's possible to access the internet whilst orbiting the earth?   

Surely they'll have a direct link with the satelites- really good broadband speed & download times.

Roast JA's are amongst my favourite foods, but I won't eat them again, after the last time when I was so bloated by wind it actually hurt!  Evil things!

Try adding a little asafeotida (not sure about the spelling) when cooking (it's a spice that you can get from an asian store) .....it does work very well!!

should have also said, once grated squeeze some lemon juice over to stop discolouring
