JarvisCreativeStudios Goldmember  More info | Apr 29, 2017 19:14 | #1 Ok I'll admit this is not photography related but I was digging weeds from a flower garden this afternoon and I found hundreds of these "roots"? in the soil. Does anyone know what these are / what they will become?  Image hosted by forum (853177) © Jarvis Creative Studios [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.

Any perennials that usually pop up during spring in your garden that you haven't seen yet? I bought this house in December, and even though Spring comes quite early in Houston, there were mainly (what I before thought) were weeds in the garden. I have not had the chance to see previous springs as of yet. Turns out they are not weeds at all. After some intense research I found out these are called Crosnes. They are an edible tuber that mainly grows in Japan and China. They are quite rare apparently. You cook them and their texture is similar to water chestnuts. They are similar to Jerusalem artichokes. I thought they were all weeds so i pulled up the plants. These are not something I would be interested in cooking or selling though, so I don't care that I destroyed all of them. WEBSITE

I do have to admit that they did look to me like some type of bizarre pea pod, but just have never heard of a subterranean one. 1DX, 1Ds MkIII IR (FSp), 1Ds MkII, 1Ds, 1D, 1V-HS, G1x II, 550D (Running ML), Elan 7e, 300D, WFT-E2A, WFT-E1A, 17-40 L, 70-200 2.8 L IS USM, 400 DO IS USM, 50 1.4, 50 1.8 Plastique Fantastique, and a host of other less-than-noteworthy detritus

I do have to admit that they did look to me like some type of bizarre pea pod, but just have never heard of a subterranean one. Wonder what these would taste like. According to the interwebs they taste kind of like a nutty artichoke. The French variety tastes like a potato. They say that they average around 1" in length, but these are far longer. Some reached up to 4 or 5 inches. Granted you are supposed to harvest in fall, and it is not almost May, so maybe they grew. I'm not sure but am fairly positive that I have identified the plant correctly. WEBSITE

May not be your thing, but I would have been tempted to fry up a few to see what they taste like 1DX, 1Ds MkIII IR (FSp), 1Ds MkII, 1Ds, 1D, 1V-HS, G1x II, 550D (Running ML), Elan 7e, 300D, WFT-E2A, WFT-E1A, 17-40 L, 70-200 2.8 L IS USM, 400 DO IS USM, 50 1.4, 50 1.8 Plastique Fantastique, and a host of other less-than-noteworthy detritus
