One thing I love about cardoons, besides the flavor, is that the harvest comes in late winter/early spring when we really need the cash flow on the farm.

I arrived at your site by searching for Agretti so it is my first visit and I love the article on Cardoon. They are a great food. Here in Southern France they are a traditional Christmas eve supper dish. There are a number of local ways to cook them including stewing in tons of olive oil. I posted a recipe for such a dish a while back, if you want to check it out. http://www.masdudiable.com/A55C37/mdd.nsf/dx/Cardons-aux-Anchois.htm I look forward to visiting again.
