Fresh baby artichokes
6 November 2018
Whether ‘baby’ artichokes is the correct definition for small artichokes without ‘hair’ inside, I have to check, but now you know already what I mean. Those babies can be really small ( approx 4-6 cm), or a bit bigger (approx 8 cm). 5 of the bigger ones are a nice portion of vegetables for 2p. … More Fresh baby artichokes
