Some good finds at the new farmers market in the Spanish School on Portabello.

Kardoom ftw. It's not celery

Kardoom

Another edible thistle. The Victorians enjoyed these.
I've read the leaf stems need to be tied in with a sunblock to blanch them
into flavourfulness.

Artichoke.

Boiling in lemon juice and water then plunging into iced water seems to do the trick. Removes bitterness

Made Kardoom gratin.
