Edible Wild Plant: Mecha-Meck


Wild Potato Vine, or Mecha-Meck, or Man-of-the-Earth

This root weighed 15 pounds. It grows along roadsides and in open waste lands from Connecticut west to southern Ontario, Michigan, and Kansas, and south to Florida and Texas. Member of the morning-glory family and very close relative of the Sweet Potato.

From a lovely book by Oliver Perry Medsger, Edible Wild Plants (1939).
This one
looks a bit like a dog--reminds me of a pet a Jack Kirby monster might have.
