It's 芋頭 ~ Taro. You can grind them up and make them into flour and pancakes.
Or you can use it in Hakka style pork.

It's the stuff between the meat. You slice it then fry it in peanut oil to sear it shut for it to keep it's shape. Then soak in pork fat for hours then you put it in between fatty pork slices (fatter the better).
Then slather sauce on top and part steam it to allow the sauce to melt and seep in.
You then come back after a day or so then steam it and it sticks together. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

Thanks.
Well, I experimented.
Peeled a few, put them in the food processor, chopped them up quite small, like grated carrot. Taste and textured similar.
too big to use as flour
so run it through the coffee grinder and got a kind of a paste.
Pancakes.
Well, mixed some up with a beaten egg, and added a pinch of salt and some coarse brown flour, and the pancake fell apart in the pan, but kept stirring it up, scrambled style. Turned out with the consistency of hash browns, and tasting like potato cake.
Reckon next time, I can get that spot on, and have that at breakfast time.
Also, making some bread right now. Instead of 3 cups of flour, I've got 2 and a bit cups of flour, and a cup of the taro paste.
Find out how it turns out soon.

I'd come back after a day or two, and find some bastard had eaten it.

Another vote for taro.
Never did get round to experimenting with it myself, but its very familiar looking. Lots of Polynesians eat it (a lot of it ) ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

You can't eat it raw. We don't eat it raw.
Satoimo/taro has harsh taste and it's slimy and we need pretreatment.
peel it, wash it, scrub it with kitchen paper, sprinkle salt and massage it, and boil it.
