Carciofi alla Giudia (Jewish artichokes) -- just the name of this dish was fascinating to me.  Who knew Jews cooked artichokes?  I grew up in a Jewish household and couldn't think of one green vegetable that was revered enough to be considered a "dish."  But that's Eastern European Jews.  There were so many Jewish cuisines I was completely unaware of.  As you can imaging, I couldn't leave Rome without tasting Carciofi alla Giudia.  Unlike their gray insipid cousins that people usually get out of cans in the US, artichokes in Rome were a revelation.  They were deep-fried to gorgeous crispness opening up like a rose in hot oil.  The moment I got back to Boston (this was 10 years ago, by the way), I got some artichokes, trimmed them, put them in acidulated water, and then tried to deep fry them.  Kids, don't try that at home.  I was lucky I didn't burn the house down.  Putting wet things into hot oil is not a good idea.
