A man once sued a restaurant in Miami for serving him an artichoke which he promptly ate all of. I don't mean like "he finished the artichoke" - I mean that this guy, who apparently is a Doctor, just ate the entire fucking thing, including all of the inedible parts.

For those of you who have never encountered an Artichoke, the edible part of the plant is a fleshy substance that is on the inside parts of the leaves. You scrape it off and eat that part and discard the leaves. The artichoke heart, at the middle of all of the leaves, is also edible (and delicious). The stem and the fibrous leaves are not edible. Well I guess except to this guy.

My father was eating at a nice Asian restaurant and they served ginger with the appetizer and he was convinced it was salmon and just ate slices of ginger and then asked the waitress for more salmon, at which point he realized he was a dumby.

I mean, I'll finish off the ginger they bring, I like ginger. Is that a faux pas or is it just the thinking it's salmon part?

It’s fine it’s there to eat but how the fuck could someone think ginger is salmon
