    Just like eating a fungus called "The Prince" Your stools smell of Almonds and so do the Farts.

    I have just been given some more JA's so looking forward to eating many more this year.

        I know the globe artichokes can be grown from seed but I have never seen any Jerusalem Artichoke seed for sale?

          Ja's are apprantly very difficult to grow from seed.
          There must be a friendly plot-holder near you who can give you some.

            When people say potato 'seed' or JA 'seed', I thought they meant the tuber!

                  Those of you 'blessed' with JA's, get digging and earn yourself a few bob!
                  Thought I"d have a go at growing JAs this year after seeing Carol Klein"s programme.
                  Mr Fothergills are selling 20Fuseau tubers for £7.95 and I think the postage is £2.95

                    A very good root of Fusea, lots of 'sweet potato' size big enough to peel and roast - luxury! Plenty left over for swapsie seed tubers which will go out next week

                      If you give them a good scrub you can eat them whole without peeling. Yum!

                              Friend of mine just bought some from Fenwicks food mart. I think I'll just look out for them in the local supermarkets and buy a few comparatively cheaply!
