    It's also way more artichoke to food ratio, considering most of that artichoke isn't even edible.

    About 75% of that artichoke was edible, but yes, some of the outer petals weren’t worth eating.

    Dip the petals in drawn butter & scrape the “meat” & butter off with your teeth.

    It is more artichoke than necessary, so I typically save the heart & petals I didn’t eat to make dip.

    I'll have to give that a try the next time I get my hands on some artichokes for a reasonable price.

    How do you cook it, just steamed?

    Yep! Steamed for about an hour. I also enjoy it with olive oil, sea salt & desired spice blend.

    I live in NC & I’ve had it served here with mayo/lemond/dijon/garlic dip. It’s not bad, but haven’t tried to replicate it.
