Artichoke bottoms?

I got what I thought to be a windfall of canned artichoke
bottoms. After testing the first can, I think the label
should read "artichoke WOOD"!!! Does anyone have any ideas
to make these things palatable?

Did they still have leaves on them?

As much as I love fresh artichokes, I must say that canned
artichoke bottoms just don't work for me. About the only
thing I've found that makes them edible is to throw them in
the food processor and mix with around a cup of mayo and a
cup of grated parmesan, then bake in a 350F oven till crusty
& brown on top. Serve as a dip with your favorite
crostini/crackers/baguette.

no...they're little concave discs, about 1.5-2" wide and
about 1/4" or less thick.

I concur, or use them after blending with some chicken stock
to make a soup.
