It's worth noting that although cardoons are closely related to 
artichokes (the plant looks like an artichoke on steroids, with 
miniature artichokes on it), what people normally eat is the leaf of 
the cardoon not (as with the artichoke) the bud. So a cardoon recipe 
would be quite different from a modern artichoke recipe.
