this is what sean and i were talking about over dinner the other night.
i mean really,
you get the little bit of meat on each leaf (which you dip in butter AND mayo),
and you do this until you get to the heart which you subsequently
so my question is,
is there even enough in there to be nutritional,
AND
if there is something in there worth some kind of nutrition in the 1/4 cup of vegetable you actually end up eating,
how much of it is cancelled out by the butter AND mayo?
important dinner conversation.

My comment is this:
Not much nutrition.
Lots of fat.
And...
I don't care!
;)
PS. Because I'm going to keep eating and loving them anyway...
If it's the only way your going to eat it- well then so be it!
It's green so it counts! Also some people eat the heart, but I don't.
It is a vegetable. It doesn't matter how you prepare it, it is a vegetable. Which means healthy, right? :)
I loooove artichokes, plus they remind me of home (HMB-- my grandpa used to grow them in his garden). I also find that if I can spice them well enough, I don't feel the need for mayo/butter... (Will still does, but I can do without because I love the artichoke taste so much). Anyway, Juice of 1/2-1 lemon depending on how many you are cooking, then some dried herbs of choice and a little salt on top-- I think it makes it quite tasty on it's own!! :)
