Oh, it sounds a lot like a collard or a loose leaf cabbage. That makes sense. I guess you could just pick the leaves as you need them. Nice!
My grandfather grew the Jerusalem artichokes and my grandmother pickled the tubers. They were very crunchy and had an interesting flavor that is hard to describe. I would guess that it is one of those things you would either really like or really hate. (I really liked them, but one of my cousins didn't.)
As I recall, they have beautiful flowers, so even if you don't use them for food, they would certainly brighten up the garden. Good luck with them!
