Yes, Jerusalem artichoke. They're really really good for you--they were included in a detox diet I did at one point. I made them into a "slaw" with raw beets--I thought it was pretty good but I suppose I have weird tastes? My recipe: http://community.livejournal.com/vegan_foodstuff/39030.html

I saw a recipe once that had these cut really really thin and arranged on a pizza with some olive oil and salt - it looked fantastic.
