fresh mint leaves are great in a jug of water with some lemon slices.

Dried, not sure.

Mint tea is lovely in the summer. I mix it with hibiscus tea.

Where can you get these with a heksher? Marinated artichoke hearts are one of my favorite foods, and I haven't had them in years. They're usually made with unsupervised vinegar that might have come from wine, and there's also the concern of whether they are considered to be "cooked" or not.

Pasta salads, on pizza, or just straight out of the jar. YUM. If I knew where to get them, I'd buy them by the case full!

In the US, the company Season has them with a hechsher.

Franticfrummie, you have go to go to Rome. Roman Jewish food is all about artichokes. Every restaurant I went to (also in venice) had artichoke on the menu. Fresh not canned though.

If I could get canned artichokes with a hechsher I would probably have some around.

There are at least two Italian brands with a hechsher. I'm guessing Garelik but I'm not 100%. I have bought them in Israel.

They come in a jar and preserved in oil.

So in the spirit of this thread - what spices do other amothers use on roasted potatoes?

I always do the usual paprika, garlic powder, onion powder though would love to try something new...

I posted upthread that kosher salt, pepper and rosemary make a great combo.

I don't know about Europe but here in Israel artichokes are most in season at Pesach time. They're an early spring crop.

Artichokes are spring, summer, fall, depending on the climate. The Israeli summer is probably too hot and dry for them to keep producing.

Am I the only person who thinks thyme tastes of mould? Both me and my husband don't like the taste

YES!!! I thought my friend had brought moldy food for us to eat once then I realized it was the thyme...which I thought must have been bad but I have noticed it other times too!!
