Could you contact the produce persons in your grocery stores, and see if
they can obtain them for you? You might find one that has that capibility.
Once you have the tubors in your possession, you should be able to grow your
own "slips" from them, to plant later.

A friend's description of these (in short, delicious and easy to grow
even in Dunedin (South Island, very wet climate)) has left me wondering
whether they'd be worth trying in Britain. Googling reveals an
alternative name is 'oca', _Oxalis crenata_,[1] and that they originated
in South America.

Has anyone tried growing them here? Are the tubers available?
