And Llamas, I'm also sorry but you are nuts. Hummus is delicious but not an acceptable dip for artichoke leaves.

I agree that mayo is unacceptable, but why hummus? I think the flavors go together soooo well! But I also think that hummus and cheese go on pretty much anything ;)

Artichoke hearts in hummus? Great idea. Artichoke leaves with hummus on them? Incorrect!

Edit: Jojan, that picture made me laugh, actually out loud. Thank you for that.

Oh, I was confusing it with humulus aka hops. Now I see what you mean.

I don't like artichokes ...

First off, everyone knows that mayonaise is poison so throw that crap right out the window. Fucking horrible shit that should never have been invented. Melted butter is the only choice for discerning artichoke afficiandos such as ma self. Take the artichoke leaf and dip it lightly, with an ever so subtle twist in the melted butter (and I don't mean friggin melted margerine). Then grate that bitch accross yer teeth and give 'er a good pull. That is some good shit.

Next...artichoke hearts, great for cooking with seafood.

For once, I agree with moto. Mayonnaise is disgusting and should not be used as a spread nor a dip. Almost as bad as ketchup.

You'd probably love mayonnaise mixed with ketchup then. A standard sauce for cheap burgers around here.

I've had that, and it's slightly superior to each individual condiment. Sometimes mixing two bad things together makes something decent or even good. But ketchup/mayo mixed is still pretty bad overall.

But some sandwiches are so dry without it. And who wanted to eat tuna salad and egg salad with no binder? As a dip? Ewww! Miracle Whip is nasty all the time, though. Ketchup on a lot of things is also gross, except french fries.

Why would anyone voluntarily eat tuna salad or egg salad? Nasty ass stuff. What are you some kind of friggin vagimatarion? Eat some meat for shit sake. Nice fat piece of pork may wake you up.
