Were you having trouble finding flour too IM? There wasn't any at my store when I went Wednesday.

I couldn't find flour but hubs found some today at walmart. It's gold medal, not my favorite but beggars can't be choosers right? I still have 1 5# bag of Wheat Montana that I just opened but bread goes through that quick! No yeast so far.

I only tagged Debby because she'd specifically asked. I certainly appreciate your reply Sharron! I don't pickle them. We usually pressure cook them, hubs likes them with mayo for the leaves and the heart. I use a little mayo for the heart but not on the leaves so much. Some people like them with butter, some with lemon too. I just sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder before I cook.

The only way I've ever had artichokes are the pickled hearts (like what would be in a salad or antipasto plate). Never tried one like you do them, interesting.

They are a PITA to clean the leaves, but they are good. It's almost like craw fish, you have to love it to go through the work of eating it.

The artichoke is actually the flower. The inside of the petals are soft and fleshy, the outside are fibrous. Once they're cooked you can pull the petals off and scrape them with your teeth to eat the fleshy part. Then you scrape all the thistle bits off the heart and that's what you're getting for salads. The salad ones picked earlier than those cooked and eaten as a vegetable alone if I recall correctly, hence why they don't have the thistle hairs inside.
