giant artichoke

While some produce has been suffering in recent months, it seems that others are doing enormously well. Quite literally, in fact.

I'm not sure what the statistics or records are out there for giant artichokes, but still, to see ginormous artichokes that aren't on display at some State Fair is quite a sight. These globes were huge, and even though my hand, holding the artichoke by the stem, doesn't look all that small in comparison, it is. The thistle-beast I am holding was as large as a cabbage.

The question is: does a beast of an artichoke also have a lion heart?

Well, gee, Sarah,

Cook that puppy up and give us your tast impressions next blog! What can I say except that I want to try one myself!

Incidentally, I tried to find all the ingredients for your Gim Bahp recipe. Where I live, kelp is a real problem to find. I won't give up, though!
