Artichokes
I asked twitter “Can’t figure out which part of the artichoke to eat… suggestions?” and I received the following responses:
“Shake well w/ ice 2:1 vodka:artichoke juice & 1 artichoke heart (canned, no oil) Enjoy!” ~ @ruthkalinka
“Artichokes: First tear off leaf, put formerly attached end in mouth, pull through almost-closed teeth to drag tasty lower part of leaf off.” ~ @tangofoxtrot
“Artichokes: But first, dip soft end in melted butter. Dee-lish. When finished all leaves, scoop out fuzzy part covering heart.” ~ @tangofoxtrot
“Artichokes: the heart is the base of plant. Clean off fuzz, cut sides off, down to circumference of heart. Cut heart up, dip in butter, eat” ~ @tangofoxtrot
“eat it all - just chew slowly… (I never know either)” ~ @sauldraws
“yeah, you scrape the flesh off the back of the leaves with your teeth. then throw out choke (fluffy stuff), and finally savor heart!” ~ @harvrock
“eat the leaves with some kind of dip. an aoli will work well.” ~ @moonpolysoft
“TEAR OUT ITS HEART!” ~ @eagleapex
“ALL OF IT… nom nom. Seriously - scrape the leaves with you teeth, and the heart is the best part. Mmmm vegetable poetry.” ~ @pufferfish
