Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / November 2009American Artichokes a.k.a. Jerusalem artichokes
Highly recommended for diabetes. and tasty. very easy to grow too. but tall and invasive. Are they sometimes called sunchoke? Or is that yet another type of veggie ... > Are they sometimes called sunchoke? Or is that yet another type of > veggie ... Sunchokes and Jerusalem artichokes are the same thing. Both make you flatulent to a degree that is almost hard to believe, too. Susan > Sunchokes and Jerusalem artichokes are the same thing. Thanks! I see them in stores regularly and have them on rare occasions. When it comes to veggies in the store there are some I have regularly. Others I try to follow a simple pattern - If I can't recall ever trying a type I get it this week and try it. It's it's been over a year since I tried a type I get it this week. Except the couple of types I flat out dislike. Last time I have a sunchoke was over a year ago. I'll keep my eyes open for them at the store. > Both make you flatulent to a degree that is almost hard to believe, too. Such little root veggies? Okay. For me it seems like the amount of gas directly depends on my total carb count in the previous couple of days. I have no idea if this means I tend to have a consistant ratio of fiber to digestible carbs or what. I'm farting today because yesterday's breakfast was too carby. This weekend the store had giant pork loins on sale for a dollar a pound. It included the chine bone but at that price I didn't mind some extra bone. My wife put the chine bone in the slow cooker and made soup. The soup was dinner last night. Reduced broth, the meat from the bones, a little onion and carrot, more celery than either. Fresh herbs from the herb boxes in the garden. Leftover roast pork loin from Saturday's dinner was included in the Sunday soup. > Such little root veggies?

The amount of gas from sunchokes makes them a non starter here.

I bought one of the little sample size bottles. I have not opened it. For all I know it will remain on the shelf as decor from here on - A beer so two a week is plenty for me these days. I don't know the difference that makes absinth legal now. it must be milder than the illegal stuff was. > > For variety you could drink absinth. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I don't know the difference that makes absinth legal now. it must be > milder than the illegal stuff was. Absinthe has been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug.[7] The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was singled out and blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries except the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although absinthe was vilified, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits. Its psychoactive properties, apart from those of alcohol, have been much exaggerated.[7] A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. As of February 2008, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably in France, Switzerland, Spain, and the Czech Republic.[8] Commercial distillation of absinthe in the United States resumed in 2007.[9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe Signature"When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint.

Mine looks cool on the shelf and is likely to stay there. I'm not convinced it will be nicer to drink than to use as decor ... |
