“We all have ideas of where we came from and where we go, kings and butchers and alchemists making their names into history as a medicine against the rot, but in the end, all life and all death comes from something small and fortuitous. As much a product of chance as the artichoke brought to life by a strike of a lightning, who contemplates too the very same question.”

How the fuck do you cook an artichoke?!
Find an artichoke that's got a big stem, and looks pretty tightly closed.
Steam it whole, stem-side down, until the stem is soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. Like, it's almost mushy.
Then you take it out of the steam to cool down. While it's cooling, you've a couple classic options for prepping a dip.
I like real mayo, my spouse likes garlic butter, ranch is good. Whatever you want, really. A creamy/buttery base really makes it better tho.
The bottom-most petals will have the least amount of flesh, and the most hard tissue that you don't eat.
You use your teeth to scrape the soft inner flesh off, petal by petal.
At the end, you'll have an artichoke heart, with a bunch of fuzz on top of it.
Carefully pull all the fuzz off and set it aside. It's not fun to eat =(
Then chow down on your artichoke heart!
The stem is definitely edible, but very fiberous like celery. Lots of people don't like the fibers, so they say it's inedible, but it tastes similar to the heart! I hate to throw it out without at least gnawing all the delicious soft parts out of it.

Made-up facts about the Pangolin, perhaps?
Millions are eaten every year, served under the name "Artichoke," yet most believe they are not even meat. The fools. WE EAT THEIR HEARTS.
WE EAT THEIR HEARTS!!!

Cynara cardunculus (cardoon)
The cardoon is native to the Mediterranean basin and prefers a dryer climate. It's really just a giant thistle and this lovely specimen is growing by the seawall near Granville Island in Vancouver. The cardoon is a bold, architectural plant about six feet tall but it prefers to be out on its own and not surrounded by other tall plants. The first photo shows a honeybee and a bumblebee on the same flower but this is not unusual. Pollinators love cardoons.
The cardoon has been eaten since ancient times but mostly the stalks, which were blanched and eaten like celery. Homer talks about cardoons in 800 BC. One type of cultivar gives us the globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) with a large flower bud used in many Mediterranean cuisines. However, if a globe artichoke is allowed to flower, it instantly becomes hard and inedible.
I'd love to grow a cardoon in my garden but I have nowhere to put it. I face the same dilemma that every suburban gardener will recognize: so many flowers - so little space.
