Smells a bit suspect to me while it's being cooked at the mo, but time will tell!
If you have not eaten Jerusalem Artichokes before, nibble rather than gorge. They contain a chemical called Coumarin, which causes excessive flatulence in a fair percentage of people. They do taste good and nutty, but you may need to open the windows (and maybe doors).
