Sorry, pickled things are all part of a commune of sorts. Except pickled peppers which are above all.

Got some recently because I've never had them before. Raw they tasted like death aith a texture of snot. I roasted some with vegetable oil and salt+pepper and they were very nice.

I frequently get orka when my grocery store has them and do that exact thing: oven roasted with some oil, salt/pepper. They are really good like that. I've found sauteing not to be good for okra because it brings out their sliminess

I've never had artichoke but I've always wanted to try some. Is it better to boil or steam it?

I never thought artichoke was that good untill I had it with mayonnaise.

20 minutes in the pressure cooker, dip in a combination of mayo, red wine vinegar, and tobasco.

You are so fucking right. I remember I was a kid and saw my mom doing this, I thought it was disgusting at first. Now, I love dipping a freshly steamed artichoke heart in a bit of mayo.

Grilled a few of these bad bois last summer. Figured I'd give them a whirl since my grocery store always has them, and the Latin population is non-existent here in SE WI.

Absolutely god awful. Heapings of salsa couldn't even save them

Next time put lemon when you grill these bad bois so that next time it doesn't taste like leathery cardboard

I understand Wisconsin is a barren hellhole, much like a desert, but I live on a lake. Don't think the pricklyboi will grow out here. Also, my one experience was enough to never try these again

These things grow in the midwest. IL here and I've found them in some random spots, so WI wouldn't be too surprising. But I think he bought them at the store mate, not picked 'em out of the ground.
