In Italy, a favorite way to serve fresh small artichokes is raw, dressed with oil and lemon. It couldn’t be a simpler presentation, and it’s sensational. Slice the trimmed artichokes as thinly as possible, then season and toss with fruity extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Serve over arugula and add curls of Parmesan.

lengthwise, that's the way it is done in Italy.

Had this in Montalcino with the addition of raisins, and lemon sometimes swapped with white wine vinegar. Lots of shaved parmesan and black pepper. I could eat it every single day. Yum!

It doesn't say which way to slice them. Width or length
