Yes; don't know the variety because a "friend" gave me a few.
Once you've planted a bed, they're yours pretty much for life, though a
patch neglected for 20 years almost died out.  Planted the surviving tubers
in a decent spot, and now I'm up to my ears in them again.
They're an acquired taste, and can be a mite gassy to many folks.
I'm going to try brining some just for fun.
