JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE.
This totally tubular tuber is neither from Jerusalem nor an artichoke. Like many trendy indie rock bands these days, its name is a complete misnomer and misrepresentation of its personality (we’re looking at you, Tennis and Girl Talk). In 2002 this perennial plant won “best soup vegetable” at some obscure festival in France, which one can only assume is the Cannes version of hipster foods. Think of them as potato’s sweeter, nuttier cousin from Portland, Maine who works in a yarn shop. Be warned: their high inulin levels can cause major flatulence and tummy aches, so if you’re trying to impress the speakeasy “mixologist” out on a date, do not order the goddamn brioche-crusted fish with Jerusalem Artichoke puree and pumpernickel croutons or you will totes blow it. (Literally.)
