    Can anyone identify this?? Please see attached photo. It has a firm feel like a carrot. It has no eyes like a potato or multi-branching like a ginger. I do not think it is a Jerusalem Artichoke. HELP!

    GCF--- where did you acquire this item? If it's taro, it had to have been purchased...one assumes that the purchase was a deliberate act and thus would be remembered...? Try as I might I just can't believe that you found taro during a stroll in Alberta. Not this time o' year.
