IT looks OK to me.
I usually serve one large artichoke, or two small ones, per person, with individual dishes of melted garlic-lemon-butter. With a mess of baked chicken wings. And each person has his/her own leaf/bone bowl, too.
One of my all-time favorite meals.

Stuff them...then you only need one per person.Thanks everyone. I finally made it to the choke, and I removed most of the puplish leaves along with it. It sounds like it is okay to use to use as long as I leave off the thorns, but they seemed to "want" to come out with the choke. I keep trying to make artichokes work at home, but I'm not sure I have the patience. plus, at $2.50 a pop, we need $10 worth of artichokes to make enough for 2 of us! Maybe someone can convince me to stick with it. I must be making it too difficult.

$2.50 a pop ?? are the oil companies selling them there ? Here in new york they were 3 for $1 this morning. At $2.50, im not sure id make the effort either. Too much of a pain in the butt make and eat at that price. Stuffing them is even more of a pain in the butt, but taste great
