My parents use to eat them with mayonnaise as a ‘dip’.
They would take each leaf of the artichoke off one at a time, dip the large end in the mayo, then eat the soft part at the large end of the leaf.
Then, after all the leaves were gone, they would eat the heart with a spoon..................
Love me some artichokes! We dip the leaves in melted butter, then plop the heart into the melted butter dish. Sinfully good!
Hadn’t heard of doing that before- Will Have to try it, sounds good- thanks
