Did you know that Italy is the biggest artichoke producer in the world? Well, there you go :).
If you're interested in the #foodphotography Monday contest, I recommend checking out @juliank's blog for more information.
I am not sure how I feel about these when it comes to consuming artichokes. I probably haven't had one that was cooked right. What do you think?

Good photo, excellent sharpness and very interesting to know that Italy is the biggest producer of artichokes, good greetings post :)

I love artichoke. I steam them with olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Yum!

That sounds pretty good. I've only made them once and I guess baking artichokes really sucked the life out of them haha I was not impressed with what I did hahaha

I just cut around a quarter or a third off the top and gently spread the top open and ram some parsley and garlic into it. Then plenty of salt and some pepper and poor EVOO over the top and boil/steam for about 30-40 min. Give it a go!

Beautiful artichoke photographs @kotturinn. I've only ever eaten artichoke hearts and I really liked those. 😊

I think you can eat the soft end of the petals too @kotturinn. You did them in butter and just eat the soft tips. 😁

Delicious, I was brought up eating artichokes since I was a kid. I loved peeling off the leaves and dipping them in a vinaigrette that my mum would make. Actually you've inspired me to ring her and find out the recipe, because i've never made it myself.

That is crazy haha I haven't had an artichoke until just recently, so weird, I guess they're just not very common in Crimea where I lived before I moved to the US.
