Jicama- what is it supposed to taste like?

[Guest guest]

I've been hearing a lot from people about how good raw jicama is, so I

bought one the other day, peeled and sliced it and, um, I was not

impressed. It tasted fermented, kind of like juice that has begun to

go bad. Did I just get a bad one or is this the normal flavor? I've

had it fried into chips before and I liked it, so that was not the

flavor I was expecting.
