Garlic and herb Jerusalem (f)artichokes
Gerard's Herbal (1621) had a view on Jerusalem artichokes: "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."
Anyway, lets not let that get in our way. Anitra has, by daughter-proxy, given us a huge pile of Jerusalem artichokes that I am determined to use. This shall be the first attempt.
Update
Gerard had something here. Pretty non-descript, this, even with all the garlic and bay leaves. Sweet tasting, rather similar to parsnip or sweet potato, neither of which are my favourites. These are also quite a fiddle to prepare and there is a fair deal of waste too. I would feed these to worms.

- A few glugs of olive oil, flavoured with a few good grinds of black pepper.
