How the hell do you peel such an irregular shaped root?

The best way is to give the whole thing to a pig.

Oink-oink -

I do like Jerusalem artichokes. We have regular earthquakes in this part
of Norfolk at this time of year. (Some of mine are a good ten feet high,
with silly little flowers on top.

Or maybe it's just that they're so far away?

This is the first year I've had flowers on them, and i wasn't especially
early putting them in.
