Jeralursalem Artichokes !!!!!!!!

Impotrant information on Jerusalem Artichokes

 

Yes, I'd been warned about that little side-effect, HB! :D

 

honey bee, hi I have second thoughts in ordering J.Artichokes. my husband is very very poorly with recently diagnosed chrons disease and I dont think it is good for him to eat this veg. I planned to and ste aside a patch for growing them.

 

I have ordered some and cant wait to try them! I will just eat them on a friday when i know im staying in all weekend, not very sociable food then, worse than sprouts do you think?
I want to try artichoke chips!

 

Or roasties?

 

What a gas.
Are the environmentalists on to this yet? It has bound to have implications for the greenhouse effect with all that methane. :D :D

Scrummy looking pic Supersprout

 

supersprout, that looks delicious yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy I suppose you could say that about onions, peas well I alone will have to eat it. I'll just make sure I am not going to court the next day.

 

why dont they just add an 'F' to the beginning of the name? Then you'd know.

 

Sawfish You took the thought out of my head. a very apt name for it.

 

I've had them a few times and had no ill effects but then again I seem to have a stomach of iron. Probably years of eating dodgy stuff at the wrong times. Cold curry in the morning etc.

 

Can any one tell me where I can buy these tubers please? I'll risk the side effects!Ta!

 

Marshall's have them at �£9.75 per 25 and Thompson & Morgan at �£11.95 per 20. Try "Googling" and you'll find their web sites.

 

Thanks for the info, Dave

 

Just had a look on e Bay, lots on offer today.

 

Now october and the artichoke
plants are huge and now in flower. Should I cut them back now or just leave them!
