artichokes have a delicate flavor and should be boiled or steamed in water, then served with melted butter and salt only.

Had this very same explanation when I asked why we don't boil lobsters in a "crawfish boil" fashion. My initial reaction was: " yeah that makes sense". Then I thought about it some more and said f-that! There should be no food rules. I threw 4 - 3/4 to 1lb lobsters into my traditionally seasoned boil water and it was fantastic. Yeah yeah I get your "delicate" flavor profile foodie crap but sometimes good is good. Like Zimmern always says: "If it looks good eat it".

They are also an incredibly effective spice delivery system. Just because you like artichokes one way doesn't mean that you can't enjoy them in another way.
