Taste is a matter of preference. They kind of remind me of a water chestnut in texture with a slight medicinal taste that my sister refers to as kerosene! My sister-in-law always made artichoke relish with them, but we didn't have enough chokes for that. I guess they vary in size, but the ones we had never got much larger than a small potato. They were gnarly and hard to peel. I don't think they are picky about where they grow but they would probably do much better in something other than Georgia red clay soil. We just like the beautiful flowers that grow in one corner of our garden.
