Artichokes frozen, fresh, or in a jar are much nicer than canned as they don't have that metallic taste. But I do live in artichoke country-just about 70 miles from Castroville-artichoke capital of the world.
Trader Joe's carries them here. Hearts of Palm are another great salad ingredients-in a jar.

i agree completely - but i just had canned on hand. Frozen artichoke hearts are even better
than jarred, and of course from fresh would be best (though labor intensive for this
dish!)
