Globe Artichokes
Artichokes make a starter for a few, or a light, fun meal for one. They're complicated to eat, but absolutely worth the effort, especially as we only have them for such a short time each year. The two parts of an artichoke that are edible are the flesh inside the leaves and the heart - the bits that aren't are the choke and the stem.
Origin: Spanish
