Rusty I should have been more to the point...IT'S ME who is a stranger to artichokes and artichoke hearts....I never knew I had ever eaten them..lol So it was me who was surprised they were used and probably quite a lot in Italian dishes. Sorry....I'm NOT an avocado or cilantro person. I now know to ask the waitress if cilantro is in the dish. Chefs go crazy with the stuff!

Oh, ok. I love artichoke, avocado and cilantro. Tastes depends on what one grew up around to a certain degree, I think. My kids all love artichoke and lamb too, although they were raised in Texas for the most part, because I cooked it at home.
