I've been contemplating composing an exceptionally equivalent post in the course of the last couple of weeks, I'll most likely keep it quick and painless and connection to this rather if thats cool.

But I was struck in this interesting article, that the Turkish term for this delicious vegetable is "yerelması" (literally "earth apple"). To my ear, this sounds very similar to "Jerusalem" (Yerushalim, Ursalim"). I had no idea that this vegetable, native to North America, had made it to Turkey! The Ottoman Empire was expansive and certainly influential. The Turkish influence certainly makes sense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-28074079534105830922009-10-12T10:39:52.843-07:002009-10-12T10:39:52.843-07:00In Estonian they're called "earth pears&q...In Estonian they're called "earth pears" (maapirn) :) I got a big bag of Jerusalem artichokes from my mum today, so need to choose some recipes to test..Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-45918052410622446582009-05-19T10:28:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:28:00.000-07:00Hi, I like your blog.

The French word for sunflower is girasole, meaning "turning toward the sun." Girasole sounds like Jerusalem. Sunchokes are the root of a species of sunflower. The taste has often been thought to be reminiscent of an artichoke (a stretch, but I can taste it somewhat). <br /><br />Hope this helps.

I've heard that these artichokes have got nothing to do with Jerusalem, so not sure of its origins. I love eating these artichokes raw (simply peel and slice and eat). I've never tried this dish with orange juice, thanks Burcu.Cevizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228697873715378573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-11790989765456823922007-06-10T13:51:00.000-07:002007-06-10T13:51:00.000-07:00This may be the recipe that finally makes me try t...This may be the recipe that finally makes me try to cook sunchokes: I like all the ingredients.Simona Carinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621645217450504400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-7236425594282013502007-06-09T14:59:00.000-07:002007-06-09T14:59:00.000-07:00Ulrike: I'm surprised to hear that you use a Frenc...Ulrike: I'm surprised to hear that you use a French term for it. You're right to think that sunchoke is not typical for the Turkish cuisine. I don't know if it's cooked in eastern Turkey, but it's very common throughout the western parts. It's very unfortunate that Turkish cuisine is sometimes reduced to Doner Kebap, yet I'd love to have some right now. I heard it's pretty common in Germany. <BR/><BR/>Kalyn: I think you'll like it. I usually find it at chain grocery stores which have nicer and organic produce section. In Turkey we used to buy them in fall and winter, but here it seems to be on the shelf all year around. Don't buy wrinkly ones, prefer firm ones; they tend to get bitter if they are left out for long.Burcuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291775178560434313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32011247.post-87430901880181974932007-06-09T13:14:00.000-07:002007-06-09T13:14:00.000-07:00This is something I've been wanting to taste for a...This is something I've been wanting to taste for a long time.

I wouldn't have thought that sunchokes are typical for the turkish cuisine. Unfortunately most Germans think Turkish cooking is only "Döner Kebap".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
