Notes
6-5-11 Addendum: Someone recently suggested slicing the artichokes before you boil them, if you are going to grill them (don’t do it if you are eating them without grilling). This solves the difficulty of slicing and removing the chokes from the boiled whole artichokes, and was indeed much easier, though you have to be careful not to overboil them, as it is easier to do this when halved than it is whole.
