What the fuck do I do with artichokes?

Boil them with salted water and garlic.
Then commit a hate crime.
Throw them in a compost bin and let them rot into mulch, then use that to grow actually edible food

shove it up your ass
>cut off the top
>cut off the bottom
>soak them upside down for 10 minutes to remove any dirt/bugs
>cook them in a pressure cooker for 15-20 minutes depending on the size
>if you don't have a pressure cooker, steam them until you can easily insert a paring knife into the base
>make a dipping sauce of your choice and eat hot or cold
>start by eating the outer leaves - you peel off the inner meat at the base of the leaf with your upper teeth
>when you get down to the small leaves cut the base (heart) away from what's left and discard the choke
>again
