Woo Tau, Taro Root

From: Gabe Thomas <cdanielle at prodigy.net> on 1998.03.13 at 06:32:12(1950) I found what was labled as Taro Root Woo Tau at a grocery store. It came from lucky produce Portland OR. Does anyone know what this is? I'm hoping it's not Colocasia esculenta 'Elephant Ear' because if so I paid too much for it. Unlike Home Depot, it was priced by the pound and I picked out the biggest one. The lady at the checkout was curious what it was used for, I told her I wasn't going to eat it I was going to plant it. If I find out that it is the common elephant ear I just may try eating it, as I don't need more. So what's the verdict plant or taro chips? Anyone have any suggestions?
