Talk:Artichoke (disambiguation)

I added eating technique. Many many years ago my brother in law took me to La Coupole, an incredibly famous arty restaurant in Paris. There I had my first ever artichoke experience. I wish I had known about them in advance. Trying to eat the whole leaves while your dear relative falls off his chair with mirth is not an experience to be repeated. Maybe kids nowadays are more wordly wise and this would not come as a surprise, but hey ... :) Nevilley 00:46 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)

My parents grow these, so I was familiar with them from an early age... you really start to HATE these things after a couple of weeks eating them twice a day -- Tarquin 17:54 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)

I have copied the 'eating' portion of this article to the Wikicookbook at wikibooks:Cookbook:Artichoke. It's up to someone else to decide whether it gets deleted from here and linked, or left in both places... KJ 06:00, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Artichoke from Arabic?
Sorry for my English! The Arab origin for this kind of vegetable is well attested but we must remember that the word in arabic is not "ardi shawqi" for "artichoke" but "kharshùf" or "khurshùf". This became in Italian "carciofo" but for me it's difficult to know the original meaning of the quadrilitteral root (). Bye. --Cloj 13:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Then Comes to Spain where al karchuf becomed articocke, in France where becomes artichuf, nord Italy 'articioco', Till It arrived in Lebanon becoming ardishawqi that means "fruit of the soil".

Suggested page move
Since most people who find this page will be looking for the globe artichoke, I think the artichoke page should redirect to globe artichoke, which should have a little note at the top like "Foliage” redirects here. For other uses, see artichoke (disambiguation). Any opinions? --Chaffers (talk)/(contributions) 20:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
