The scales are pulled with the fingers from the cooked head, the base of each leaf dipped in a sauce and then eaten. To prepare the artichoke remove all the hard outer leaves. Cut off the stem close to the leaves. Cut off the top of the bud. Drop the artichokes into boiling water and cook until tender, which will take from thirty to fifty minutes, then take up and remove the choke.
He turned down the Artichoke road and went straight to Uncle Coffin's. "I've come to take you and Aunt Salomy to the show," I said, lifted out and knocked hither and thither by my friend in his tender ecstasy. "Cruisin' out on the high seas without no rudder, you you young spark, you!" he cried delightedly.
"But Tonbridge is a goodish step from here and you look tired, my lad, peaked and pale about the gills. Are ye hungry?" "Yes, sir!" "Ha, thought so! Must eat beef beef's the thing! d'ye like beef, hey?" "Yes, sir!" "How about pudding-steak and kidney pudding d'ye like that?" "Yes, sir!" "Good lad! So do I! Just had some in the 'Artichoke' yonder all hot! Go and do likewise, my poor lad!
As she came to a field of artichokes she saw a man and woman picking artichoke heads and packing them in baskets, which they piled up in a cart that stood by the roadside. She stopped to look at them at their work. A moment later another cart driven by a girl came up. "So you're getting yours all in?" called out the girl. "Should say so, and it's none too soon," replied the man.
"And your fine coat always smells of musk," jeered the artichoke. "That is true," said the muskrat. "But men think well of me, nevertheless. They trap me for the fine sinew in my tail; and handsome young women bite off my tail with their white teeth and make it into thread." "That's nothing," laughed the artichoke.
You must let me have a large pot for my pulp," said David; then he continued, without noticing the quick look his father gave him, "and you must find artichoke and asparagus stalks for me, and nettles, and the reeds that you cut by the stream side, and to-morrow morning I will come out of your cellar with some splendid paper."
I said angrily, and I threw the letter down. "Would you like to be left alone?" suggested Miss Middleton kindly. "It is from the child's so-called parents, and their wretched offspring is to be called 'Violet Daisy." "'Violet Daisy," said Miss Middleton solemnly, trying not to smile. "Why stop there?" I said bitterly. "Why not 'Geranium' and 'Artichoke, and the whole blessed garden?"
This plant bears a fruit, in shape like an artichoke, in which a number of seed-vessels are packed: these contain a pleasant sweet pulp, here much esteemed. I saw at Low's Harbour the Chilotans making chichi, or cider, with this fruit: so true is it, as Humboldt remarks, that almost everywhere man finds means of preparing some kind of beverage from the vegetable kingdom.
Some traces of their aboriginal state they still retain, and they cherish their totem, which is a bundle of black ribbons, rather like the flattened leaves of an artichoke, attached to the back of their collars. It is the badge of their tribe.
Let me tell those, with whom Hungary is but one leaf of the artichoke, that the despot who is allowed to nibble each leaf separately, will manage to dispose of the whole. My opponents say; I myself confess my cause to be that of one country only: for in claiming "non-interference," I show my desire to abandon all other countries but my own to their oppressors!
