(Jerusalem artichoke: no relation to Jerusalem, and it is not a type of artichoke) aka fartichoke...ah! now that's a more accurate name...


Gerard's Herbal, printed in 1621, quotes the English planter John Goodyer on Jerusalem artichokes:

"which way soever they be dressed and eaten, they stir and cause a filthy loathsome stinking wind within the body, thereby causing the belly to be pained and tormented, and are a meat more fit for swine than men."
