RE: February 2024 in the Northeastern USA

I honestly can't wait to come back and restart my own food prepping journey. YOu're right - you can't live off pickles alone, but it's a good start! HOw do you cook your jerusalem artichokes? Do they make you fart or is there a special way to prep them to get rid of this? We got rid of ours as our stomach didn't like them, but definitely need some kind of robust tuber to supplement a garden prepper pantry!

My interest in them is two-fold: they can be harvested in the winter, and they are spectacular in bloom. I haven't had the farting problem yet (although you are not the first to ask about this), and have mostly used them cut very small in rice pilaf, or in dog food. I used to ferment them, and had no gastro problems then - they were quite good! I need to get back into fermentation, everything tastes good fermented, especially rutabagas. My kids even liked those.

Oh fermented sounds awesome! I saw a recipe once that had them parboiled and then roast with bay leaves and bacon. Perhaps olives would substitute in.

They are, shall we say, short on flavor. More filler than anything else. Bacon would be helpful.
