wow, who'd have thunk it!
If you have globe artichokes:
bring some water to the boil (enough to completely cover said artichokes) and put them in, then simmer for about 20 minutes. They should then be tender enough for you to pull out each 'leaf' and eat the base. if you can't pull a segment off easily, simmer for another few minutes, until you can. You must NOT eat the 'choke' bit (spiny part) - pull/cut it out.
If you have Jerusalem artichokes (like knobbly potatoes) just cook them in the same way as you would cook new potatoes.

Jules!! :therethere: I really don't think artichokes on toast will work hun.
Here's a couple of things I found though
Can you believe there's actually an "artichoke advisory board" :shock:
Hope this helps Jules. And on the 2nd link there's even a step by step picture board of how to prepare them... how helpful is that!
the ones you have are Jerusalem artichokes
Blanche them lightly first , then put them on to simmer on a low heat . Drive to the kebab shop and on your return throw the resulting mess in the rabbits hutch and eat the kebab .
