Dear Ron,
A. konjac and A. paeonefolius (both species are represented in cultivation by several vars.) are MAJOR food crops in Asia, they are cooked/used much like taro root/taro/ potatoes, and processed for starch from which nooles are madebut--- the 'tyoobahs' /'chubas' we speak of were actually the tubers/corms/rhyzomes of Xanthosoma cf. saggitifolium/violacium, sold as a vegge here in S. Florida groceries, and cooked in place of 'Irish' potatoes w/ curried chicken. I did it as part of a presentation on the history of edible aroids for Elizabeth`s Begonia Soc. here in W.P.B., Florida.
