The tubers look rather small, but still, if one found a good patch on soil that was easy to dig, it might make a good addition to the diet. Sadly, around here I've mostly seen it on quite compacted soil by roadsides and such, and on rocky seashores. Not very digging-friendly.

First step: Get yourself a lot of garlic. Then peel the cloves, submerge them in olive oil, and cook over very, very low heat. Within an hour, the garlic will be soft, rich, and spreadable.
