Cardoons

Cardoons have long been employed in French cookery, and are now a good deal cultivated in England, but they require such rich seasoning that they are scarcely fit for domestic cookery. The stalks of the inner leaves are the parts which are eaten. They should be cut into strips about four inches long, and the prickles removed with a flannel. They are generally blanched for use.
