i have never tasted artichoke before, this must be exciting, i just see them all the time from dicovery travel and living, and they looked appetizing when fried, i somehow imagine it to taste like camote chips, so i am not really sure i can imagine what it tasted like when boiled. can you describe it MM? we weren’t exposed to this type of veggie to begin with, where can i source some? thanks!

I’m sure that plate can be used for other food perhaps?…

“Now my question isâ€¦ who the heck figured out how to eat an artichoke in this manner to begin with???”
Ask the same people who ate malunggay pods and edamame almost the same manner. LOL.

That’s such a pretty fine plate! Artichoke plates are quite common in Europe, mostly in porcelain with less decor.

The same thought as ykmd’s entered my mind as I read this…with all her single-use silver & china, plus, of course, the rest of the de riguer pieces, in different styles/colors/etc…how does she find space for them all? Especially in NY, where space is at such a premium?

Artichokes are so beautiful, and those plates do justice to them. How utterly luxurious and elegant it must be to dine at your sister’s!

I sure wish we had enough storage space to amass all these single use implements! That plate looks so classy… We love artichokes and that dip sure looks good.
