Artichoke, Japanese (Stachys Japonais).—This
may be treated in the same way as the ordinary
Jerusalem artichoke, though it is a trifle more delicate
in flavour. Do not use strongly flavoured sauces
with it, or the special aroma will be lost. It is delicious
served cold with plain cream. Or when cold it may
be sliced and served with either a French or a mayon-
naise dressing.
