I love artichoke – it’s mainly a vessel to get olive oil and salt into my mouth but they are very addictive. Just boiled or steamed and then eaten leaf by leaf is such a great snack. It’s not a light snack but also not exactly a meal.
Artichoke is one of those food that I wonder – what was going through the mind of the first person who ate this. Like nothing about this vegetable is inviting. It’ prickaly. It takes a long time to cook. It inedible raw (personal opinion not fact) and there is very specific way to eat it so you don’t cause serious damage to you mouth and esophogus. I would have hated to be around for the trial and error of this food.
