Oh now you've got me longing for artichokes and for Rome...I think we plan our time there around artichoke season in early spring....and then it artichokes, artichokes & more of them! Not much artichoke growing going on in or around Vancouver! Luckily I've got my stash of artichokes from Puglia preserved in olive oil to keep me happy!
I love artichokes too, cooked until just tender with some lemon juice and a clove of garlic in the cooking water, to eat with some garlicky mayo, but I cannot recall the last time I bought any. I'll have to keep an eye out for some the next time I get to Kensington Market, which is the likeliest place for me to find them.

The island of Procida has/had an annual artichoke festival week. We must find out If t survived the pandemic.
Love them with lime!
