Canned Artichoke Bottoms

One of the recipes on the Louisiana Cookin' site is stuffed artichoke bottoms. I use fresh or don't use them at all because I've never found a canned version that doesn't taste somewhat like the can. Canned would be very convenient. Have any of you found an acceptable canned version.
The last time I tasted a canned bottom was at Tommy's. I asked before I ordered whether the heart was fresh or canned. I was assured it was fresh. Worst tasting canned bottom I'd ever tasted. I would have ordered differently, had the waiter been honest with me.
ETA: just realized my title said "hearts" rather than "bottoms". Sheesh...

I use canned quartered hearts for a little casserole that is quick to set-up and tasty as hell. One diced onion lightly sauteed, chopped tomatoes two shuld do, couple of cans of quartered hearts, garlic and herb bread crumbs, and a little parmesan sheese, 350 F for about forty five.

There are some that come in a glass container (don't remember the brand) that my parents found somewhere that did not taste like the container.
So, while this isn't an actual brand suggestion, you could try to find some that are packaged in glass instead of plastic or metal.

I make a stuffed artichoke soup with Reese's brand artichoke bottoms. You can find them at Rouse's. This recipe comes out very similar to the stuffed artichoke soup at Drago's.
