These are good, but you need to like blue cheese to like them. They need something extra, but I don't know what. The blue cheese overwhelms the flavor of the artichoke hearts, so there's not much but blue cheese flavor. I'm not sure what could cut through that, but I like blue cheese, so I'm fine with having a blue cheese sandwich!!!
