Bini Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have artichokes and am wanting to use them, either in a salad, or cold pasta dish. If you have a specific artichoke meal you enjoy, please share and post how its made. I'd like to whip something up in the next day or so :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane_Doe Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Boil it up and dipped in melted butter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I don't, but since you ask, have you ever had Jerusalem artichokes? They are neither from Jerusalem or the Middle East (it's probably an English-speaking misunderstanding of the Italian word "girasole", which means "sun-turn" or sunflower), nor are they artichokes. They are tubers, more like potatoes, but they do have a mild but distinct artichoke-y flavor. The plant is a type of sunfower of the daisy family.

Guest Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'd love to help you here but artichoke gags if not made with bacon... and you don't eat bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not familiar with them, though. I'll Google them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'd love to help you here but artichoke gags if not made with bacon... and you don't eat bacon. It really is an acquired taste, I think. For the longest time I hated tomatoes, avocadoes, and artichokes. I found out I'm super allergic to avocadoes but I've slowly started eating tomatoes in more things, and now, I just LOVE artichokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
