My thoughts:

When the nice people at Sea Mist asked if I wanted to endeavor cardone, I accepted, as I am e'er eager to endeavor a new-to-me vegetable despite non genuinely knowing what it was. When it arrived, I notwithstanding didn't genuinely know what it was. Cardone is a relative of the artichoke solely looks similar giant, monstrous celery. I read upward on it likewise as a lot of people suggested either removing the strings inwards the ribs or soaking it inwards tabular array common salt H2O overnight. I went with the tabular array common salt water. I hit got to admit, the following twenty-four lx minutes menstruum it notwithstanding seemed tough likewise as I wasn't for sure if I'd final able to build anything with it remotely edible. I am happy to say I went ahead likewise as all turned out well. It did hit got an artichoke-like flavour likewise as a crisp solely non tough texture. It went wonderfully with the creamy cheddar sauce. If you lot lot hit got a bunch of cardone, I advise trying this out!
