Well, Castroville is the center of the artichoke universe, as far as I’m concerned. Those that live in that part of the country are lucky, in more ways than one.
That’s the one thing that most of the rest of the world has over the US, what they cook is fresh, picked when ready. Those of us in the flyover states can only dream of such things.
