Most of our family really like artichokes (carcofi) and so it's fun to see all the artichokes in Italy. We drive by field after field of artichokes and the markets are full of them. The Italian people eat a lot of artichokes. They even eat steamed artichokes for breakfast. We ate fried artichokes in the Jewish section of town one time. My favorite pizza is artichoke pizza. We see a lot of artichokes, but have never seen as many at one time as we saw on a truck that was on the same ferry we were as we crossed the strait from Messina to Reggio di Calabria.
Wow! And I'm convinced they have the best artichokes in Italy
