Artichoke

[GWguy]

I never had much luck with artis in the campfire, but I can make a mean mickie (fire roasted potato). My dad was from Brooklyn, and he told me stories exactly like this one:

Fire-Roasted Potatoes, Brooklyn Style (Published 2015)

The Great Depression created a different definition of tater tots: kids who cooked potatoes in vacant lots.

Not sure why we don't eat them more often.

We eat them every time the market has good ones that are fresh and big. If they're skinny and ugly I ignore them. Today's find was a nice surprise.

PS, the Instant Pot makes steaming artichokes a breeze. Trim them, then put a cup of water* in the bottom of the pot, pressure cook on high for 12 minutes, let the steam release for 5 mins or so, then eat.

* I put seasoning and lemon juice in with my steamer water. Tonight I used the Zoe's Kitchen Greek seasoning.
