I have only tried artichokes once, mainly because I have no idea how to
prepare them. Do you need to do anything other than wash them to get them
ready for cooking? The time I had them was at a friends. She said to eat
them by pulling off those pointed bits one at a time and suck the flesh out.
There has to be more than that to the artichoke or they would never get
hearts into a can! :-) Someone please give me a step to step approach to
preparing these things. I would like to give them a good honest try.
