Interesting. I've heard of Japanese yam, but not Chinese. Also going to look up crosnes and Egyptian onions!

Chinese Yam (Dioscorea polystachya). Some call this cinnamon-vine. It’s considered an invasive in some places. Not a problem in my Zone 5B garden. Produces an edible aerial tuber that’s also edible.
Crosnes, also called Chinese Artichoke, are a member of the mint family that produces edible tubers.
