I've given some to this root thing. The modern roots such as a good o'l Idaho potato is nothing like what HG's dug up. The roots here in Utah are tiny fibrous things. I've eaten lots of Cattail roots and they are eaten by chewing on the baked root and spitting out the fiber ball. You have to eat a whole arm load of Cattail roots to equal on potato. As far as being PC (Palo.Correct) an occasional potato is fine, but it better be small. R. Keene
