Another one worth considering is Spurge Nettle. First time I heard about an edible euphorbia. "root tastes like pasta"

That's a new one to me, seems like it needs a lot of digging

It grows wild in my garden. The roots you can eat like salify (not like potatoes). As it grows sparsely in my garden, I tend to leave the roots in the soil. But I do eat some of the spring leaves and flower buds and flowers, all in salads. Their gentle taste and nice stucture pleases most people.

What is Salsify like?

Taste wise I would say somewhere between asparagus cardon and Jerusalem artichoke.
