[edit] Oh Great.

I planted these like a month ago, and we've got this enormous bumper crop coming up. Now I find out they're this awful, extravagant flatuence-type thing, and they're invasive. Is there any crop more damned? I guess I'd better do the shovel thing before they make themselves at home. Banality 03:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The editor who states that there is a "misconception" that JAs produce wind and hence colic, implying that the source for this misunderstanding is Gerard's herbal may not have had personal experience of consuming large quantities of this undeniably tasty and nutritious vegetable. It is without doubt highly flatogenic - if anyone wishes to see for themselves, cook and eat a kilo and within a few hours you will discover the truth Nomis62 17:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] They are great.

The Jerusalem Artichoke is great steamed with butter and a bit of sugar. They taste a bit like parsnips.205.246.14.233 22:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
