Do you eat the artichoke heart or the 'scales'
Hi Sue.I've generally cooked the whole head and upper stalk ,dressed it with oil and balsamic and then eaten what is edible.Some are more edible than others!
The last one I tried was well developed so it was worth pulling off the scales individually and dipped the fleshy base in dressing ,then sucking out the flesh, before starting on the heart itself.
One very large plant has rather spiky heads which I've left to flower this year.
Great harvest and great variety, we have no artichokes this year so have to get a new plant as I do like them. I boil them whole and eat them leaf by leaf with salted butter , very unladylike but lovely!
