That's the goal.

Sure.
Sunchokes, or Jerusalem artichokes, are neither from Jerusalem nor are they artichokes. They're a type of sunflower that produces potatolike tubers you can dig up and eat. They taste rather like water chestnuts if you've had those, and can be swapped for potatoes in stews and such. Native to Turtle Island / North America, they are the escaped agricultural crop of some lost civilization.
