My mom used to stuff them with seasoned breadcrumbs & bake them drizzled with olive oil. I loved them, but my dad had trouble eating them because one of his front teeth is chipped! My mom hasn't made them in about 30 years because it was too much work.

I wouldn't have known what to do with them if they did have one. Now I will look for one in another store and try it. It sounds delicious. I have had dip made from canned artichokes and it is good. Another tasty treat for summer enjoyment.
