Jerusalem Artichokes

I love the musty taste but not the texture. I served them in place of potatoes yesterday and nobody was terribly keen. Ailz ate one and then forked her share onto my plate. "Slimy," she said. Of course I did them as plain as plain- just boiled and served straight. The Bible Mrs Beeton suggests a white sauce. Would that make them more palatable? Perhaps I should have fried them.

I boiled them for about as long as I would boil potatoes.

I did consider the cheese sauce but was afraid it would smother the distinctive flavour. Next time, though, I think I'm going that route.

I'd call that too long - most potatoes are much denser
