A beautiful place welcoming beautiful people and just around the corner. That's how I cook my artichokes, with dill and broad beans in shell. Delicious.
Have not had a decent cider since 1955.

Thanks all, I will get around to posting more, very soon.

Lyse - non, en fait c'est l'autre côté de la Baie de Morlaix, un coin que nous fréquentons assez souvent. Les gens qui tiennent les chambres d'hôtes sont super-gentils, et nous donnent toujours quelque chose, habituellement le cidre fait maison, et cette fois les artichauts. La fenouille y pousse partout aux bords des routes, et je l'ai ramassé juste pour mettre dans la maison comme decoration - je ne suis pas folle pour le gout!

Ellena - It is an amazingly beautiful place, a real treasure and very dear to us. I thought we'd finished with artichokes - those I harvested from the garden earlier this year came from a plant this same Paul at Kerbriou gave us a couple of years ago. These are his little, end-of-season ones; I've just halved, scraped, blanched and frozen them all for later. The cider is home made and very 'real', quite heavy and sweet, not too strong, with a slight edge of mustiness to it which is actually not unpleasant. I like the commercial cider round here too, and there's a cider farm just up the road which does a good one. The blackberries are really good this year, and I'm making crème de mûre for kir breton.

Artichokes always remind me of Brittany. I was given one at the age of 8 on my first trip abroad - this to Saint-Georges-de-Didonne‎ - and hated it. These look lovely. Maybe I should return and have another go!

Artichokes - only time I've had them was in Paris, with a host family, in 1967. Seemed to me like scraping cardboard with one's teeth but maybe my tastes have become more sophisticated by now. They make a lovely photo, anyway.
