First, dig up the root. Using the root as a handle, shave away the prickley leaves around the base and the darker green outer skin to reveal the light green stalk. Then you can eat it raw in a salad or cook it in stew or any other recipe that calls for celery. Thistle is best gathered before the stalk gets too tall and well before it blooms as it gets tougher the bigger it gets.
Bon Appetit!
