How to eat 

Pull off an outer petal, dip in whatever you like (e.g. garlic butter, mayo, dressing) and pull the soft portion of the petal through your teeth and discard the rest. Eat and repeat until all the petals are gone! When you reach the base, spoon out the hairy bits and throw them away. Then eat the ‘heart’ of the artichoke – which is the best bit!
