Very interesting, Dan. I had no idea they were edible. They are very popular
as garden plants in SA where they are known as Elephant Ears. There is a
huge "plantation" of them south of Phalaborwa near the Olifants river. Some
must have been dumped from a garden at one of the waterboard houses & nature
did its thing. I'll take a shot or two next time I am down there.

Subject: PESO: Kalo
Kalo is the taro plant so essential to the survival of the Hawaiians
before the modern age. It is still a favorite food of Native
Hawaiians and other Islanders, and it is still planted in the
traditional manner, most notably on the Keanae Peninsula on Maui and
in Waipio Valley on the Big Island.
This is part of several small kalo patches planted in the educational
area of Iao Valley State Park, Maui:
