fartichoke
n.— «I love the nutty, earthy flavour of jerusalem artichokes, but there is a reason they are often called fartichokes. A tip from an Indian friend is a trick worth knowing—adding a pinch of asafoetida, or hing, to the artichokes as they are sweating will greatly reduce flatulence.» —“Souped up for winter” by Kate Fraser Stuff.co.nz (New Zealand) June 28, 2007.
