My thoughts:
When the prissy people at Sea Mist asked if I wanted to endeavour cardone, I accepted, equally I am ever eager to endeavour a new-to-me vegetable despite non actually knowing what it was. When it arrived, I withal didn't actually know what it was. Cardone is a relative of the artichoke only looks similar giant, monstrous celery. I read upward on it as well as a lot of people suggested either removing the strings inwards the ribs or soaking it inwards tabular array salt H2O overnight. I went amongst the tabular array salt water. I produce got to admit, the adjacent twenty-four lx minutes catamenia it withal seemed tough as well as I wasn't certain if I'd last able to brand anything amongst it remotely edible. I am happy to tell I went ahead as well as all turned out well. It did produce got an artichoke-like season as well as a crisp only non tough texture. It went wonderfully amongst the creamy cheddar sauce. If you lot produce got a bunch of cardone, I advise trying this out!
