Interesting info:

Also called Sessile Belwort. The wellesley.edu site has additional pictures and says, "18th-century botanist Manassah Cutler wrote in 1785 that "...the young shoots may be eaten as asparagus. The roots are nutritious, and are used in diet-drinks."

hmm, I wonder. Did Cutler actually have the word "diet-drinks" in his vocabulary?
