| | The '''cardoon''' (''Cynara cardunculus''), also called the '''artichoke thistle''', '''cardone''', '''cardoni''' or '''cardi''', is a member of the [[thistle]] family related to the [[Globe artichoke]]. While the flower buds can be eaten much as the artichoke, more often the stems are eaten after being [[blanching|blanched]] by being wrapped or buried in earth. Battered and fried, the stems are also traditionally served at [[Solemnity of Saint Joseph|St. Joseph's altars]] in [[New Orleans]]. | | The '''cardoon''' (''Cynara cardunculus''), also called the '''artichoke thistle''', '''cardone''', '''cardoni''' or '''cardi''', is a member of the [[thistle]] family related to the [[Globe artichoke]].
