As the OP of the post I believe you are referring to, the Marinated
AH's I bought are heavily spiced in oil. Very savory. They are the
kind of thing that go great on a garlic pizza.

I have never really eaten fresh AH's, just on Pizza, in dips (like the
cheesy warm bread or cracker dips) and now in a salad that I fell in
love with.

There have been tons of great tips so far in the post I started. I
need to figure out ways to use up this wonderfully huge jar of heaven
so I can buy another (grin)
