Following up to Janet Baraclough

I can't imagine the whole leaf ever being edible, even from baby
ones.Are you sure they were whole baby artichokes, not fonds
d'artichaut? That's the yummy base of a grown up artichoke, after you've
picked off the leaves.

No, whole baby artichokes. I'm going to go back to Tudela and speak to
the chef. My current thinking is that you have to peel off a *lot* of
outer leaves.
