    I’ve hated artichoke because I’ve only had it steamed whole, and the choke became a huge pain to deal with from being all limp and soggy. I’ll give his try; maybe I’ll like it better.

    @papistoso Are you thinking of adding the artichoke heart to your pizza? I would think you would steam them first.

    Im gonna give this a try when I get back from Afghanistan! Hey, if I were going to put this on a pizza, do you think I should steam them first or would the oven tebderize them enough? I know its a non-related question ;)

    @9aspengold5 Glad to hear they worked for you! Never tried a mayo/ketchup combo for a sauce, but I’ll try it next time. I usually melt some butter or add some dill and garlic to mayo. Have to admit I’ve eaten them plain too!

    Thanks so much for this video. I saw the most beautiful artichokes in the market today and I think now I will go back and get them and give it a whirl. They have always been something I order at a restaurant but never make because I was afraid of the prep. Thanks so much. I’ll be having this tonight!

    Every once in a while we get free veggies from my boyfriend’s customer (boyfriend is a car saleman) and we got articokes one time and I had no clue what to do with them. Lol. I didn’t even know how to eat one let alone cook it. Very helpful. Thank you.

    Look, I’m sure she’s a wonderful person on the inside as well. She’s actually rather good looking. I’m just saying that she has a nice pair of cans. Is that OK?

    Removing the fuzz before it’s cooked- thats too complicated. Its way easier to remove the fuzz after the choke is coooked. and for clarity on time– 30 minutes for a medium size choke 45-60 for the jumbo sized chokes that people can often find at club or retail stores.

    Your demonstration was wonderful. I know you did not mention the heart but there is a huge confusion even by chef’s and for the sake of those who want to know the difference between the “heart” and the “bottom” this is from Julia Child….the artichoke heart is the tender central part of baby artichokes!! (Vol. 1 of Mastering the Art of French Cooking P 428!!).
