   I checked with a local merchant and the price was 25 DZD/kilo. That is about $0.13 USD/pound.

   Hi Harmony leaf rib is also called cardoon in English. I have not seen cardoons of high quality in Los Angeles.

   So Hana, was correct in the name for the veg. Thanks, Farid. I had never dealt with the veg before moving here.

   Clifford Wright wrote a paper about the development of cardoons by Arab/Berbers. It is ours certainly. But it is a favorite in Mediterranean cooking. In America it has limited availability. I’ve heard of some Italian grocers carrying it. The local Middle Eastern store has really sad looking ones.

   i’m not sure that i will be able to write what i want to say in english, so i prefer to continue in french.

   bonjour,
   vous nous présentez un cadre de vie dont on espère retrouver et qui nous manque énormement, et je vous en remercie pour ce que vous faites.

   Moi qui suis de EL EULMA pas loin de chez vous, vous m’avez des endroits et des histoires qui étaient planqués dans un coin perdu de ma tête

   je pense à setif et j’aimerais y retourner bientôt
