Hi Rob,

how do you prepare your artichokes? The only time I've had them they where steamed or boil. Do you eat just eat the hearts? Or can you eat the leaf/petal things without heating them to soften them up?

I've eaten thistles raw before, for that we'd peel the flower and eat the little nickle sized heart in the center. (Not a lot else to do growing up in the Highlands.)

Cheers,
Ian.

I've never prepared them - someone did it for me once, but I think she just pealed it.

I have never tried preparing raw artichokes. I have never seen a recipe.

Maybe you could try marinating them in lemon juice and salt to soften them up. Then dehydrate them for a little while.

One food that you might not think can be eaten raw is Eggplant

To prepare Eggplant, slice it with a mandoline. Put the slices in a zip lock baggie and put it in the freezer overnight. The cold air will make the eggplant soft and edible. Take it out of the freezer and marinate it in your favorite sauce (I like Nama shoyu with various seasonings or curry spice)

I always wondered if eggplant could/should be eaten raw. Not sure if this would work on artichokes, but I like to freeze veggies first before using them in some recipes, to soften them up a bit.

Tried it once, will never try it again. I didn't add anything to them. I just peeled it and it was unappealing.
