I've been looking for years, but never seen any anywhere around here. My Sicilian grandfather used to boil it, dip it in egg and flour, and fry it up in a little olive oil, but I liked it so much I'd eat it just plain boiled.

Wed Jan 23 15:13:33 -0800 2002 1420399 0 sandhat 1 1420494 See them occasionally at both vegetable markets in Astoria on 30th Avenue between 32nd and 33rd Streets. Wed Jan 23 16:32:34 -0800 2002 1420399 0 NYShelley 1 1421394 I bought some (for the FIRST time) last week at a Korean fruit & vegie market in Whitestone, Queens. It is located at 150-18 14th Avenue (Approximate address, but correct block). They don't always have cardoon (or cardone as they called it) but they did last week. Thanks for your grandfather's recipe. Ken Gross Sun Apr 07 17:39:19 -0700 2002 1420399 0 Ken Gross
