Hi all,
I just interrupted the landlord's father cleaning up our garden (we just
moved, and I was going out to tell him we'd clean up, but he said he wants
to remove stuff that he left here--he lives next door). I said I'd be
growing veggies in the spring in the area under the apple tree, and he said
great, but watch out for these! and pulled out some roots that look a great
deal like ginger or galangal but are not. The smell is not at all spicy or
exotic, the skin is sandy-colored, the flesh white. There are no dangly
roots at all. He said they are to be sliced and eaten as is and that they
taste like a cross between potatoes and apples. He said there are a ton of
them there and to not throw them away or something when I do the garden. If
you folks could give me some suggestions of things I might look up to see if
the picture matches what I've got here, I'd appreciate it. Oh, I am in the
Netherlands, but he said they're not originally native here.
Thanks,
Katrina
