Display of Artichokes

Such an interesting vegetable. Do you like them, love them, or are you not a fan?
Trying to grow them, let’s see how that works out 😜 new to gardening & across the globe from home so everything is a try at the moment 🌿

I'm not completely sure of this, but I think I've only ever had them in spinach & artichoke dip. I like them in that, though!

Nice capture. As mentioned, good in the artichoke and spinach dip, but not sure I've had them any other way.

Fabulous capture, we love them. Boil them with some vinegar and salt for about 40 minutes.Peel off the leaves and nibble off the soft creamy ends in a home made mayonnaise with garlic ;-)

Lovely capture

I was never fond of them, but like Jessica, love the artichoke dip. We bought a couple at Christmas for Ken & Ashley, the only two of the 6 of us who love them...and at the time, they were more pricey that I ever remembered them to be!

Lovely green textures

Interesting looking vegetables, I don't think I've ever tasted one

Not a particular fan. Not enough eating on them! Nice shot though.

I love marinated artichokes, but have only once tried cooking them fresh. I was a bit underwhelmed. Attractive looking through.
February 8th, 2024  
They look good.

I do like pickled artichoke hearts. Great shot!

Not a fan, but love your photo

Great shot of these delicious artichokes.
February 8th, 2024  
I don’t think I have ever tried them!
February 8th, 2024  
yum
February 8th, 2024  
They are so cool, but such a pain to peel!
February 8th, 2024  
I'm not sure when I've eaten artichoke or if I liked it. This is a reminder to try it. Thank you.

I don't like them - fun fact, they are considered flowers, not vegetables.
February 8th, 2024  
Oooo yummy… hiding behind is my favourite asparagus… adore it!
Lovely greens…
February 8th, 2024  
I used to eat them steamed… leaves dipped in butter… yum.
February 9th, 2024  
Artichokes and butter- yes!!!!

Great capture - LOVE them, very hard to find them here locally. I boil them and dip the leave tips in a mustard vinaigrette and then can’t wait to eat the heart. I also buy them frozen (all cleaned of course) and cook them in oil and lemon.

Wonderful display and photo. Yes I like them, dipped in butter, the spinach dip and the hearts in a salad.
February 9th, 2024  
Great shot, I love them!

Love them, and how you've presented them in this image.

@Weezilou It's at 15851 Gothard St. Huntington Beach, CA 92647. It's called the Huntington Beach Farmers Market. It's kind of a middle eastern market-with lots of pita and hummus. They seem to have good prices on produce. There number is, (714) 892-8600. There green grapes are HUGE and crisp right now and not too expensive. The artichokes were about $1.50 early last week. Chris' dad loves the store. I would go more often if I live closer.

Here are the directions, Hawiian style: You take the 405 Parking Lot towards LA. Then you exit BEACH Blvd. Turn left on Beach. Turn right BEFORE the Whole Foods Supermarket on the road behind the Bella terra. Go past Bucco de Beppos, then turn left at the city college (Gothard) then make your first right into the parking lot.

@Weezilou Good thing only Ken and Ashley like them whole, when they were expensive. They are probably still on sale. Address above.
