    How old were you when you had your first artichoke?

    I was visiting my father the other day and we had artichokes for dinner. He grew up in a small town in Minnesota and he was telling me that he had never had an artichoke til he moved out to LA when he was 25. I had my first one when i was 4-5....

    ..I think what age you had your first artichoke is a good indicator of where you grew up, what type of family (made ya try lots of different things versus hamburger helper and mac n cheese every night), and how picky of eater you were...

    SO...when was your first artichoke?

                                                      really really young

                                                      my father would make them for us.

                                                      i love to eat the heart of them and dip them in a nice sauce.

                                                      Often times I wonder why
                                                      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                                      When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                      When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                                          Put some water..a little olive oil if you want in a pot..about an inch to inch and a half...put a steamer in is or i've found they actually are pretty good without the steamer in if you're working with not enough accessories.

                                                          So the next question is...what do you like for dip?

                                                          I prefer real mayo but whenever i've had them in restaurants its been a olive oil based dip. Some people like them plain as well. Any other dips?

                                                                                                      Not sure how to break this to you, but real, "real mayo" is an olive-oil based recipe: basically olive oil, egg yolks, mustard, wine vinegar, water, lemon juice and seasoning.

                                                                                                      Okay, okay I'm being a smart-ass and you probably meant dips with the oil still showing as it were, variations of vinaigrette. They will be the choice of most restaurants because that kind of dressing is more of a seasoning to enhance the flavor of the artichoke, while mayonnaise tends to dominate it. Artichokes are after all fairly expensive and troublesome if you want an excuse to dip mayo. Try quick frying some cubes of white bread in oil and garlic instead

                                                                                                          Maybe its just me..but i dont remember ever breaking the bank by buying a couple artichokes
