My favorite food

I’ve always had the same favorite food, and that is the artichoke. When I was a child I expected very much the winter only because this food (my favorite season is spring). I like the artichoke with oil, lemon juice and very much salt. I not only like the taste of all of that, but also like the entire process to get the heart removing the leaves, and arranging them carefully on the plate making a flower. I'm so used to do it in that way, that when I go to another house seems very strange when they eat it with mayonnaise or vinegar. Sometimes even prepared artichoke first removing all the edible part of the plant and serving a viscous paste along with some other accompanying... for me that is killing the artichoke! I love so much to defoliate it! My favorite part is the heart, I enjoy it so much that I take all my time to relish it. I can eat two or three or who knows how many artichokes can I eat one after another. Artichoke I love you for ever!
