...Ey up firebugs !
.
...Went out foraging yesterday with Mrs smoke to find a special wild tuber that they call "man seng" with means offshoot potatoes because they have a long winding tap root & the tubers grow off this. The Latin name is discorea pseudo tomentosa but they don't seem to have a common English name.
.
...Anyway the idea is you dig dow until you find the trailing tap root then follow it along  to find the tubers.
.
... They are quite highly prized here & are more expensive than real potatoes actually  if you were to buy them. To prepare them they just need washing & boiling & the taste & texture is very similar to normal potatoes.
.
...Stay safe guys and I'll catch ya soon
