Now you do know that these things can cause gas/bloating if not cooked
thoroughly? I'm not familiar with what you're describing, I'd say
closer to water chestnut.

I've snacked on them raw before, not in huge amounts. Good to know, I
did blanch them but they're quite crispy.

I've heard they go good in cholent in place of potatoes.

I'm not sure I could digest cholent without gas or bloating.
