Follow up to Evening Primrose, tasty edible?

Okay, so I found another Evening Primrose patch and dug up another root to try once more, to really give it the good old college try.

And guess what I found out? Well, I boiled this little (about two inch long root, the width of my index finger) Evening Primrose root for 20 minutes and then changed the water and boiled it again for 30 minutes, just to be sure I gave it a fair trial.

And to me it was nasty - so I tried it out with my husband. We both agreed - we will not be harvesting the Evening Primrose roots in the future!! We will try the early spring greens to see how they are, but no more roots!!!
