jerusalem artichokes

[CheeseGirl]

Is anyone eating jerusalem artichokes? Nutritionally they are practically the same as celeriac - 100g= 73 cal, 17g carbs, 9.6g sugars, .01g fat, 2g protein
I saw them in Tesco the other day but I've never had them before and have no clue as to what they taste like! They're apparently recommended to diabetics as a substitute for potatoes...

They are delicious - quite nutty!

They are famous for giving you terrible wind! Not sociable and not comfortable!

Well that doesn't sound too fabulous
Luckily I work at home so if I were to be afflicted, I wouldn't need to worry

The flavour is good, particularly in soup, or you can mash them like potatoes. Infamously called 'fartichokes'...... !
They dont affect me too badly but they are fiddly to peel and I generally prefer celeriac or squash.
