"A doctor has sued the Houston's restaurant in Miami after he ate a complete artichoke that he ordered, including the spiny and sharp exterior leaves. He subsequently suffered "severe abdominal pain and discomfort," and a "exploratory laparotomy" showed that the artichoke leaves were jammed in his "small bowel." His lawsuit claims that he had "never seen nor heard of previously" an artichoke and that it was the restaurant's fault for not teaching him how to eat it."
I don't think I'm ordering lobster again, the shell tore up my throat last time I tried to eat it.

I did that with battered shrimp that had tails when I was about 12. It was a buffet restaurant and my family didn't have much money so shrimp with tails was not something any of us around the table had been presented before.
About 20 years after that I ate half a gyro before I realized it was wrapped in paper.
So I sympathize.

"It takes a sophisticated diner to be familiar with the artichoke."
Yeah, that's why spinach and artichoke dip has been a staple on Friday's menus for thirty years...

Posted: 12/24/10 at 11:27amI always wonder how hungry whoever the 1st person was to eat an artichoke must have been. I love them...but damn..they're a lot of work...not much food and they're thistle. Of course I wonder the same thing about lobster and crab too.
