Not sure about that, but they are very bitter. Supposedly, if you soak
them in water for several days, you can cook and eat them. Never tried
that.

Ayup, after being mashed up.

Its not bad..pretty much tasteless. About like Poi, if you have had

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
