| They are like a potato Snadger but have a lower water content than our regular potatoes.

| Unfortunatly they also taste pretty horrid. I brought some when they were reduced (I thought I'd try something new) and followed the instructions on the packet. The mash they produced was really sticky and did not taste great. I'd recommend trying them first they are definatly an aquired taste and texture! |

| Eddoes (Colocasia esculenta) have several names (e.g. dasheen, cocoyam, and taro) and sizes. I've been told they are a member of the arum family (cuckoo pint) with hard starchy tubers under a fibrous skin. They're edible once cooked  Our local ethnic market sells several kinds, when I asked the stallholder how to cook them, she said 'makes good chips'. I also read that it takes two years to produce tubers after planting
