not bad topped with a little raspberry vinergarette, but I will say this I would 10 times rather sell the palm and buy a jar of artichoke hearts!!

The flavor was very neutral, not bitter,not sweet, and they brown pretty quick like when you peel a bananna and let it sit, at least now I can say I tried eating my own palm hearts. If I ever host another psst meeting I will have to serve some.

Tad, quite an operation you've got going there. The bed of metallicas is going to look great once they get settled in.

Happy Holidays!
