Prydwen,
Lebearchaulmn covered it pretty well. Skirrets are a perennial root
vegetable rather than an annual, and the roots "multiply". Every year, it
can be taken up, divided, and the harvest either replanted or eaten. They
were introduced to most of Europe during the Roman period and were a very
common root vegetable in most of Europe throughout period.
I've never tasted skirrets, but they may be available at Chinese markets.
