Pick 'em and dunk 'em in butter , its the only way in my opinion!

Mayo with lemon pepper mixed in.

Throw a whole head of garlic in the pot when you are steaming them, and then squeeze the garlic cloves into mayo with a little lemon juice.

we like the garlic while cooking and use a half mayo, half yogurt dip...good!

Bill and I, should we ever actually have a wedding ceremony, will have artichokes there so we can do our traditional splitting of the heart.

Then, we kiss and toast with the half heart. I love that! We've been doing it since we got together. Both of our Mother's taught us well.

We cook the choke trimmed a bit, with pickling spice and garlic and salt.

Then, we dip in mayo or melted butter, or hollandaise.

Sometimes, just salt. Who cares?

Man, the ones at the store right now are MEATY! They are a meal, by itself!
