BTW, Chaos, the GNH listened to you - I got 2 eggs today. But the Naked Necks didn't buy whatever you tired to sell them. Nada.

@Akrnaf2Did I stump your culinary skills with the Jerusalem artichoke, or did I miss your reply? I read in my gardening book to try something new every year and I liked the kohlrabi I tried a couple of years ago. I am not sure what to do with this stuff.CC suggested it makes good alcohol fuel, and while that is really good to know if I ever need a backup fuel source it doesn't help me figure out a good way to eat it.
I wonder if my goats would like it?

Interesting....I'll see if it's locally available...Thanks

The local fireplace shop has it, but you can get it from Amazon.
$9.99 at Tractor Supply. That two pounds lasts a season plus.

OK, so...

Suggestion is to "store" in the ground until needed.

Roast, them, sauce/fry in oil or butter, make into a bisque, etc. Warning that they don't always cook evenly.

Recipes include:

Sunchoke bisque with pumpkin seed oil and sunflower sprouts (basically a bisque with potatoes, J. artichokes, cream and chicken broth, plus spices/garnishes)
Sautéed Jerusalem artichoke with rosemary and smoked salt (just sliced and sautéed in a skillet)
Braised Jerusalem artichokes with mushrooms and tarragon (a braise)

Now I want to grow these next year!!!!

I'll have to have another round of talks with them then.
