An Artichoke, after having been boiled or steamed, it's leaves produce a soft, fleshy paste that can be scraped off about 2/3 of it's inner surface. It is most similar to brussel sprouts but without bitterness. You can eat this by scrapping each leaf across your bottom teeth or with a spoon. After peeling all outer leaves away and cutting away the stringy "choke", the artichoke heart is the best part, tender and juicy, with a sweeter taste than an eggplant.

I prefer mine boiled, with a bay leaf and some garlic cloves, in a covered pot. Try either melted butter or mayonnaise as a dipping sauce.
