A funny quote about Jerusalem artichokes

[Bryan]

"which way soever they be dressed and eaten, they stir and cause a
filthy loathsome stinking wind within the body, thereby causing the
belly to be pained and tormented, and are a meat more fit for swine
than men."

I've never actually eaten one.

Maybe the difference between you and Janet on one hand, and Mark on
the other is that he wrote that he'd eaten plenty. It stand to reason
that the bacteria that produce the enzymes to digest the inulin
probably become more numerous if one eats them on a regular basis.

The ain't referred to as 'fartichokes' for nothing...

>I've never actually eaten one.

I have them occasionally, they make great chips (fries to you
USAians?) if you're willing to persevere with peeling them, although
if you grow them (as I do), you can afford to waste a lot of the
'artichoke' because they grow so prolifically. Be warned though -
don't plant them anywhere you don't want them to take over... because
they will. Nice when in flower (related to sunflowers).

[Janet Bostwick]

I did not reply from experience. I was gifted a lot of them last
summer and looked on line and asked friends and family and got both
yea and nay responses from their actual response and what I found
online. Some suffer with them and some do not.

[Julie Bove]

I have! It was very memorable and not in a good way.

[Nunya Bidnits]

So they could simply be called Fartichokes for short?

I have and the idea that they caused gas never occurred to me until
people started talking about it here. They don't bother me in the
slightest.

To be honest, it seems like all the people in the world with a
defective gene post to rfc and talk about it constantly. I'd never
heard of cilantro tasting like soap, canola tasting like whatever it
is that's objectionable or jerusalem artichokes giving anyone gas
before reading about it here.

Yes, plant in a confined area (like a raised bed) because similar to
calla lilies, you will never completely eradicate them.

OK... Pull my finger.

[Jeßus]

Good idea with the raised beds, or a very deep container, such as an
old bathtub.

You're so clueless about everything else, you probably pass gas like
75893457902478957385720398 time a day and don't even know it.

With sf we don't need the Keystone pipeline.

You can easily eliminate calla lilies around here. Plant them and wait for
winter.

[Lou Decruss]

That sounds very attractive. Ranks right up there with using a toilet
for a flower pot.

[Nunya Bidnits]

And you can add fertilizer easily.

Did you miss my point or did you just take a hard left? You said they can't
be easily eradicated and should be confined. But callas don't overwinter in
this hardiness zone. So...

Marty, you were being argumentative and I didn't bite. Now you're
mad. Pout away and stomp your widdle foot.

[Nunya Bidnits]

Mad? You can't be serious. If I'm mad, your monitor will spontaneously
combust.

It was actually a humorous comment on the climate here in Missouri. I guess
you still don't get it.

What is argumentative about pointing out that callas will not take over a
garden in Missouri?

Where are your callas planted? That would be a good place to stomp around.

To be honest, I think they'd like it. Nothing seems to disturb them.
