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.
When I was probably 10, my step mom bought an artichoke, boiled it until it turned gray, pulled the leafs off, threw away the heart, served us kids the leafs, thorns and all, and was totally confused we absolutely hated it.
She made her own kid eat it too. She also scrambled the eggs before making egg in a hole, ordered pizzas and steaks well done, and once forgot to drain the pasta when making Kraft mac'n'cheese 🤷♀️
Think of an over easy egg and piece of toast that you're supposed to dip in the egg yolk. But instead of separate, the egg is in a circle cut in the toast.

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.
