Baked Artichokes
My parents are both from Europe. Growing up as a child we had a variety of different foods. My father was a Frenchmen who loved cheese. The stinkier the greener the better. Ugh, but one thing I did love and that we ate often were artichokes. Did you know they are one of the oldest known foods? If you have never tried them or had no idea what to do with them I am going to help you out.
