	abbie1948  #94349  Thu, 28 Apr 05 10:09 PM Hi Antonia, Artichoke bottom is what we in England call artichoke heart. Yes - it's the bit in the middle picture: http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=artichoke+bottom&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-&fl=0&x=wrt    abbie1948 Joined on Thu, Mar 24 2005 England Senior Member (2,657) Hope that helps.

	Antonia  #94460  Fri, 29 Apr 05 09:04 AM Oh, thank you, I was wondering whether it was a heart! And it was- and the problem is solved. Thanks    Antonia

	pieanne  #94471  Fri, 29 Apr 05 10:32 AM I think there might be a slight difference between artichoke hearts & bottoms: the heart is indeed the tender center of the artichoke, you can eat it in salad with a vinaigrette, for example, but the bottom is the kind of small saucer that's left once you have eaten all the leaves. You can serve it gratiné, or in salad, etc...    pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian! Veteran Member (7,512) I'm glad to help, but I'm not a native!
