The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

I have also grown chufa, but forgot it one year and so no longer
do. That produced a reasonably number of tiny tubers, that tasted
exactly like fresh coconut with the skin on. If I were to make
Horchata, that is what I would use.

Ah, that may be what I have - small tubers not entirely unlike Chinese
gooseberries to look at? Leaves a bit like arum lily, but thicker?

I bought some (and some turmeric, which is rooting, but hasn't
up-periscoped yet) in an Asian foodstore. If you want some, I can
usually get it.
