artichokes have larger cloves and less of them but silverskins are brutal to peel having a few "larger" cloves and dozens of tiny cloves.

I planted both Chinese Early Pink and Italian Pink both supposedly softnecks. Both store fairly well but as I mentioned before they are hard o peel and while they do produce a few large cloves they have a bunch of small ones. It'possible I'm pulling them too early around June 1st. I'm going to let a few stay in the ground all summer to see what happens.
