Artichoke 411 (how to cook & eat)

[SpaceExplorer]

that was the most pleasant minutes i have ever had in my entire life

[AutoCrete]

Meat? Meat? I didn't see any critters (or critter parts) enter the microwave. Where the hell did the meat come from?

[diANASOURRrr]

There's more to an artichoke than I thought o.o

[DarlingKaya]

what does it taste like? :P

[AutoCrete]

@DarlingKaya Call me a care free wildman here but I'll take a wild guess and say they probably taste like... artichokes. Just a guess on my part...

[julissa905]

i got 3 yesterday try one and didn't liked it but im make one today again but these time im putting salt lol

[mummyVanessa]

I've never had it & had no idea u just nibble the end of each leaf, what a waste

[john79edi]

Thank you

[TOPWATER187]

Thanks for the video, have you ever done mayo and french fries?

[xalexandchrisx]

Literally just made this for the 1st time! We tried it ur way w mayo & ur hubby's w butter & garlic...ur hubby wins. My husband said maybe salsa would be good w it. I never thought of trying artichoke until u posted this video! We ate it at a restaurant and I've been obsessed! Thanks!

[ouradoptionoption]

I never thought a video about an artichoke would be so entertaining ; ) I LOVE artichokes!!! Thanks for the vid friend : )

[MUSleger]

This was totally worth watching! I've always wondered how to cook & eat them. Thanks :)

[MommaBallard]

THESE ARE MY FAVORITE.....YUMMMMMMMMMMY AND WITH MAYO

[rmmartin92405]

Ok I'll try one...but only if you cook it for me :) so let's start our future menu plan now

[kyleandjessP]

I love dipping it in the hidden valley ranch- the kind that you have to make with the packet. I also don't eat the heart. I think it's a mental thing for me. It just looks so odd. But Kyle loves it so he wins!

[importedmama]

okay, everytime I ask someone how something tastes, they tell me to try it... could you describe how an artichoke tastes??? I would completely appreciate if you did :-)

does it taste like asparagas? or similar to another veggie ? thanks, great video

[ScandinavianMom]

I have never dared to try that so now I will! Thanks for showing me how :)

[NWGandee]

Oh yum!! I want one so badddd

[edhill1988]

I can't wait to try this!!! The fact that you can microwave them REALLY sold me :)

[rachg09890]

I looove artichokes, my son will even eat them :) I never knew you could microwave them!

[InformationMommy]

Thank you so much for this video ! I can't wait to make this for our fam... they are so intimidating so I am so glad that you shared this with us :) I think that is insane that you can only eat such a small portion of the artichoke leaves.

[jadejussy]

I have always wondered how to cook and eat them. We never had them as kids. Very interesting. Thanks honey.

[pinkglamqt]

Thank you so much for making this video! I love artichokes but never knew how to cook them! Much appreciated :)

[CanadianAmy04]

Thanks for doing this video! I have never seen one cooked and eaten before! Will give them a try!

[baradal1990]

I never seen an artichoke before and was wandering how you eat it so this video was fun to watch:D

[OurBabyKlatt]

I love artichoke and this makes me want to steam one up. I eat them the same exact way too (in butter like your husband) and the are delicious :)

[Jenmatt811]

Jenny I love artichokes did you ever try stuffing them with bread crumbs and butter....it is so awesome. I bet your hubby would like em like that!

[nell2884]

WOW I have never really eaten a artichoke like that (just in the dip lol) I never knew you eat it like that! Thanks for the video I would have eating the whole leaf!! YUM now i wanna go buy some :)

[crazybabysittertwin]

thanks for posting! i love artichokes but have never tried cooking them myself...now i will!

[imissjerry87]

I LOVE maranaded artichoke hearts. I'm actually eating some now. CRAZY!!

[TheOrtonsLife]

Looks interesting, we are going to give it a try!

[KaraDaneDallas]

Thanks for making this I've always wanted to know how to cook these !!! Now I know :0)))

[08sarahrangel]

What do they taste like?

[missmellyful]

that looks horrible lol

[Kaylandsky]

Wow I didn't have any idea. I LOVE artichoke dip so I'm sure I would like just the plain artichoke. I'll have to give it a try :)

[ReillyAJ]

idk if id like artichoke is it similar to asparagus?

[tgrkuty07]

ya know ive never tried an artichoke. What are they like?

[elesha76]

Cool vid I have always wonderd about this.

[twistedheartsx]

can you explain what it tastes like? lol. that's probably a dumb question since it probably tastes like an artichoke..

[m3773a96]

How long do you cook them on the stove?

[TheBrittbrat2341]

I have never had an artichoke! But they look yummy

[hprc7]

I love the little leaves in the middle! And yeah, stuffed artichokes are the most amazing thing ever! My dad does the meat one and sometimes puts parsley and garlic in before he cooks them. YUM!

[danielle002599]

I've looked for these at my grocery store and cant find them :(

[juliet1178]

Love, love them! I like mine in Hollandaise sauce:)

[NauticalGirl85]

Thanks for the video Jeni! That looks super simple. My best friends mom always served them for dinner but I never learned how to make them. Now I'm craving them! Yummy yum:)

[poeticsongbird25]

Thanks so much for doing this video. I LOVE artichokes in antipasta salad when they are hearts, but I have never actually cooked or eaten one. I was just wondering how to cook/eat them. Thanks again!

[Tina23Marie]

Thanks for this video, I've been wondering how you cooked them. I'll have to try it this weekend and hope my little 14month old likes them as much as Deacon

[bubbieble]

What is the taste of the artichoke? What does it taste like?

[Melohhdee]

wow thanks! i never knew how to eat or cook them

[elisam34]

I'm not a fan of the heart either, but I could eat the leaves all day. And don't you wonder who first looked at this thing and said "yeah, it's worth it?" LOL

[JenNTim509]

I have never even tried an artichoke before.. looks like a lot of work! lol

[KenzisPets]

i love artichokes, i've only had them on the stove (didn't know they could be microwaved! i don't usually microave fresh veggies i guess). This looks like a great way to prepare them easily. your tupperware must have a vent.. on the stove, sometimes they turn brownish (so you have to add lemon juice to the water, which makes them not taste as fresh), this looked perfect!

[ouradoptionoption]

Yayayyy!! Thank you for making this video : )

[amclaudet]

Yum I havent had one in so long!! I hope they aren't too expensive. I looked a while back and they were pricey. So good though

[smleblanc1]

Great video! I have never tried one before...looks interesting!

[AnnetteandJeremy]

awesome thank you for this video, I was wondering how to cook and eat it from when you showed it in your last video

[ruthfv123]

What does it taste like?

[The290s]

What does it taste like? I haven't tried it but looks cool

[Lesaphine]

My fiance's grandmother makes an amazing artichoke dish. She cuts off the tips and then makes a meat mixture (like... spaghetti style, probably whatever you would use for meatballs) and stuffs it down in front of each leaf. Then she puts them all in a big pot with spaghetti sauce and cooks it for hours. When you eat the leaves like you show in your video, you get the meat as well as the meat of the artichoke. It's so delicious. They usually eat some spaghetti noodles on the side. Yum.

[elisam34]

@Lesaphine That sounds so good!

[jessblay20]

where do you get your silverwear from?! i love the way the shape is on the forks really thick

[alandamandamama]

LOVE artichoke!!

[BrandonandKelly06]

You've got me curious now. Wonder if I have the guts to try it....

[mszeineb]

Aww you are throwing away MY favorite part in an artichoke!! you can cut around the last piece you had after eating the heart and eat it as well... delicious!!

[JessicaDee1987]

kkkkl,j.k,

[maliceinwonderlandy]

I think there's bpa in tupperware unless it's the new bpa free labeled products

[ljewkes]

I thought it was called the heart, the BEST PART EVER!!!!!!! I AM CRAZY ABOUT IT, my husband doesn't like it either, oh well more for me!

[MacknMudd]

We LOVE them too! They are so worth the work and we think they are fun to eat ;-) Are they expensive where you live? We are in FL and they are super pricey so we only get them when they are on sale.

[ljewkes]

i have always just put it in the bag that you get from the produce and put it in the microwave for six minutes. that's just how my mom did it, Awesome video, I love artichokes now I want to go get me some!

[GoodwinMary]

how would you describe the taste of an artichoke?

[fakecrab]

did you notice that this is a 411 video and you have 411 videos posted??? 

[chall1011]

[katelovestennessee]

[christephanie5288]
