This is wonderful. A boyfriend used to cook for me often and once prepared artichoke, serving it before the rest of the meal. It was my first experience and he explained it almost exactly the way you do here. It was a meditation. I will always remember it fondly.

That sounds lovely, Rena :) I'm glad you had the chance to eat them that way. They really are the most beautiful food to savour. I look forward to them every year.

Is that right? I'd imagine mothers in particular would struggle.

Thanks Rubén, you're most kind. You are completely right. Sadly, some people are not priveledged enough to have a choice.
