Another #FrΓΌchteFreitag post ... On Wednesday, I finally managed to dig up all my #JerusalemArtichokes. At least, I hope I did! πŸ˜‚ There were way too many, so I asked in our village chat group if anyone wanted some #tubers, and within 15 minutes, a lady came to pick up a bag. πŸ˜€

I roasted a few but made the mistake of not peeling them first. It was disgusting, the peel was really bitter. 😫 Still, I've kept some to try again (peeled this time), and I reckon they'll be really good. I'll also plant a few more, but this time in a container.

They make great soup - but produce vast amounts of wind

@[email protected] I wanted to try that too! I added some to a potato soup a while ago, and it was really good. I wasn't aware of the windy side effects though πŸ˜…

@meoralis

Produce Wind ? Enough to place an overweight adult in a geostationary orbit.

Yup, it was good

You never get all of those fuckers πŸ˜…πŸ˜… there always are some more hidden away.

I made mashed potatoes with some of them in once, that was a nice touch to a classic.
Yeah, I've no doubt that I missed some! πŸ˜‚ They also grew in the neighbouring lot, oops!
Oooh, I wanted to make some mashed potatoes for ages! Maybe I'll add a few tubers! Thanks for the tip 😊
That reminds me, I also have to dig them up πŸ˜…!
Mine hadn't sprouted yet, so I wasn't too late! 😁
