Frozen artichoke bottoms? [General]

2012 Apr 23
I used to be able to get frozen artichoke bottoms at the Food Basics on Merivale. They don't carry them any more. Most grocery stores on the US side have them, but no luck so far in Ottawa. I have a recipe that calls for a lot of them, and I have no interest in prepping a ton of artichokes to get at the bottoms, and canned bottoms are too mushy. Has anyone seen them in town?

I would try nicastro's on merivale. they have a freezer at the back with specialty veggies etc. A quick call could confirm.

Thanks Captain Caper, but I checked Nicastro's last week and no luck: only canned.

blubarry They definitely have them at Luciano's on Preston Street - I just picked up a bag a couple of weeks ago;) They are in the freezer near the meat counter at the back of the store.
