RE: Jerusalem Artichoke/Sunchokes
Stewart's right. We inherited some in the garden of our last house, and they took over everything they could reach. We were eight years there, and still never eradicated them completely.

There's a good article about them here - which also confirms Granny Mike's comments about wind...

On the other hand, you're right, and they're the perfect survival food. I'm thinking they'd be a great candidate for guerrilla gardening - they need no looking after, can thrive on any old soil, and will spread as much as you like. They don't even look 'food-like', so it's unlikely amateur foragers would spot them post SHTF. I think I'm going to get some tubers tomorrow!
