This was a large whole cooked artichoke, minus the choke, of course, stuffed with crab meat, Italian bread crumbs, garlic, and cheese. I'm assuming that the cheese was grated Parmesan and that the cheese and garlic were part of the delicious Italian bread crumb stuffing. There wasn't much crab meat, but at least it was real crab. Some of the artichoke leaves were edible, as was the heart, of course, and I was surprised at the strong artichoke flavor. I usually cook smaller artichokes, and they seem to have a milder flavor. My artichoke came with two different sauces, a dark oily one and a tangy mayo. It was served with an undressed slaw of white cabbage, red cabbage, and carrot. I didn't have much of an appetite yesterday, but I ate the whole thing.
