try eating jerusalem artichokes raw as an appetizer, or julienned in a
stir fry (if a child cooks on a wok, is that a "small fry stir fry?").
In terms of growing them, BEWARE!! they take over gardens.  when digging 
them, if any teensy-tiny piece of root remains, it sends up a shoot.  But
they are worth growing, in that they don't need any kind of special care,
and a good-sized plant can generate 3 to 4 lbs of the roots!  (if you're
a winemaker with a zeal
for making strange wines, don't try jerusalem artichoke--my dad did and
it was notably unnotable.)
