Learn to Cook an Artichoke

I'm having an artichoke for dinner tonight, but I needed to remind myself how to cook an artichoke. And Ask Your Neighbor.com seems to have had the answer to my question.

I'm really just posting this banal detail to test some backend stuff on the site, though I am having an artichoke for dinner. Have a nice evening!

    It is imperative that you screen the filthy language from your site. Find a way to it! These people are trash and I get the impression then that your site is the same. It is a cweertainty that I’ll not visit again

    I agree, you must get rid of the filthy language, otherwise you will offend mealy-minded cunts. So fuck you.

    Ah, this is what I love about the Internet. The freedom of discourse, the liberty of expression, the elegant ramification of intelligent debate! Teilhard de Chardin would have been proud. What a pity that he hated artichokes.

    There are millions of honest, decent people trying to use the internet to educate themselves, and yet Google searches bring up this sort of filth.

    I’m sorely disappointed in the number of people who’ve commented on the language and then asked “So, how do I cook and artichoke.” If they actually read all of the words in order they’d see that “Fucker” (excuse the strong language) provided a link to an excellent web page on how to cook artichokes way back on the 17th June 2003. Stupid fucking cunts.

  31. 31 dasubergeek

    ashamame = shameful boiled soybeans.

    and who the fuck was the first person to decide that an artichoke was edible? it doesn’t LOOK edible. go to castroville CA sometime and see for yourself.

    it’s like asking who the fuck was the first person to suckle on a cow’s teat. “hmm, i think i’ll suck on this animal and see if anything tasty comes out!”

  32. 32 Dan

    Well this thread due to it’s ease of being found in Google has earnt some notiraty…

    I quote from http://www.oblomovka.com/,

    “Do a google search for “cook an artichoke”. The top hit is pretty funny. It contains, as the friend who pointed it out says, “the most colorful discourse I’ve seen yet in an epicurial conversation”.”

    Also I think ill post a like for a google search on my comments page.

  46. 46 Mr A

    You dont say whether it is a globe or jerusalem artichoke. The method of cooking, method of eating and scope for sexual congress with, or using, the vegetable would all be significantly different, depending on which it is.

    The comments remind me of the old Persian saying: ‘A woman for duty, a boy for pleasure but a melon for ecstasy.’ A male point of view of course but then what woman would waste her time with this sad site?

    Mr A

  47. 47 jmn

    first butter the artichoke so it slides easily. Be sure and put the stem in first, as the other end will surely hurt- badly (i’m still recovering). Leave inside the annus for no more than two hours. Serve promptly in a white wine sauce.

  48. 48 Frustrated

    The thing that really sucks, is that by the time this is all said and done…

  55. 55 brasstax

    Here’s your artichoke instructions.

    http://goatse.cx

  56. 56 Zombee

    To cook an artichoke:

    1. Buy artichokes

    2. Heat a pot on the stove until steam rises from it and sticking your finger in the water prompts a “OW!!! FUCK ME!!!”

    3. Drop the artichoke in the water. (Be warned, if you don’t put it in head first, it will make a screaming noise and flail it’s claws frantically.

    4. Dump some salt in the water. Cocaine can be substituted for a slightly varied result.

    5. When the artichoke no longer floats, and sinks to the bottom, pull it out of the pot. (Use your fingers, forks are for pussies.)

    6. Stick a toothpick in the artichoke. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If it comes out looking like it was shoved in a prostitutes ass, then put it back in the boiling water.

    7. Cook until is appears that the artichoke is falling apart.

    8. Remove artichoke from water. (Remember: Fingers!)

    9. Throw the artichoke against the wall. If it sticks, then it is done, and you can enjoy your first home cooked meal of mashed artichoke!

    2) Whisper to it until it settles down

    3) Duct tape it so it doesn’t wiggle so much

    4) Shove that fucker up your ass and cook at 98.6 degrees until you have to shit.

    a fun revision of typical artichoke recipes…

    try sticking the artichoke up a cat’s ass first and then stick the cat up your own ass…

    not only is it ready in half the time, but this method lends an almost almond taste… really much more palatable than most methods of cooking ive found…

    100 things to do with an artichoke. Since you all have mentioned 90 things, here are ten more:

    1. throw them at weddings instead of rice

    2. use to create mad cow vaccine

    3. organic body piercing (use your imagination)

    4. repel midwesterners with an artichoke necklace

    5. use for storing essential computer files, like this incredible pile of excrement.

    this is my new favorite website. who knew needing to know how long to cook an artichoke was going to provide me with such brilliant entertainment.

    so, if you want to know how to cook the artichoke:

    http://www.askyourneighbor.com/recipes/159.htm

    the site from up above

    jacked from bob allison’s site:

    Cut the top off about 1 inch down. Cut the tops off each leaf of the artichoke with a pair of scissors. Cut the stem on the bottom off. Put about 2-3 inches of water in a pot and bring to the boil. Place the artichoke in the pot and cover. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 40-45 minutes. Clarify half a stick of butter to use as a dip. Note: You may cut a lemon in half and rub all the cut pieces with it to stop discoloring. Squeeze the remainder in the cooking fluid. Another caller said to drizzle a little olive oil and dry white wine in the water.

    Woops. wrong site. Could anyone instruct me as how to steam bearded clams?

  82. 82 irune

    Hmm.. the human capacity to complain never ceases to amaze me..

    For christ’s sake.. stop complaining about google’s hit on your attempt to cook an artichoke. It’s a well known fact that artichokes are extremely obscene vegetables, so if this site bothers you that much, then you don’t want to cook artichokes anyway.

  83. 83 Anonymous

    A good artichoke dip is mayo mixed with a bit of extra lemon juice. Of course, it looks like male spooge, so why go to the extra effort of squeezing a lemon when squeezing the wanker will do?

  84. 84 HOT CARL

    For Good Bearded Clams:

    1. Make sure the clam is closed.(you dont want that horrible smell to take your breathe away)

    2. Poke at it.

    3. Try and look for the slit.(you may need hedge trimmers or mower, depending on how fat the clam is and well mantained)

    4. Grab your salami and warm it up in your hand (you will find it more often than not you will need to do it yourself because the clam is rotton inside!!!!!!)

    5. Pry that clam open and look around.

    6. Look for my car keys! There in one clam somewhere!! $500.00 REWARD

    7. Turn around and shoot your flaregun your going to die.

    8. If the clam is very bearded abort the mission immediatly.

    I found this site after googling for ‘fuckitty fuck fuck’ so all of you are clearly choked in the head for trying to search for a cooked artichoke on the web, cause everyone knows an artichoke is made up of trits, or three-state digital logic, not bits, but only on alternate Thursday universes.

    We really have to discuss the british invasion here, otherwise artichokes would never have risen to the permanently grandiose status they have, which is that of, along with anchovies, pineapple, and other deciduous trees, not belonging on pizza. Whatsoever.

    And if you think that’s not a cautionary tail, try supergluing your tongue to the brake pedal while driving with your ankle down the highway at 73kph.

    Wow. you guys are a bunch of sick sadistic fucks. Don’t got anything better to do than come to an artichoke website and write stupid shit to each other? losers. Go find an artichoke….and then you can go fuck yourself!! At least, you’ll have something productive to do…

  88. 88 for kicks

    I tried cooking the choke in my shit-shooter, but I was recently sodomized by an air hose, so the artichoke was prematurely farted out. Luckily, it had already simmered in my hot ass juice jong enough to soften. I dribbled some olive oil and white wine on it and fed it to YOU, you fucking whore! Stay away from me with that hose. Or I’ll blow you with my rusty can of tuna!!!

    The absolute best way to cook an artichoke is to shove a stalk up your pee-hole, marinate it in your urine for 3-5 hours, turning hourly. Then, pull it out of your bell-end, lightly flour, season with thyme and ginger, and then slide it into your ‘taint’ for 20 minutes per pound.

    thank you.

  118. 118 Pimplewinker (Cam)

    Other ways to cook your choke:

    - Immerse yourself in boiling oil and stare jealously at your choke reading through “How to cook silly buggers”.

    - Hold a choke party and ask all the perverts, weirdos and Catholics round to help you make choke cocktails consisting of one part rum, two parts choke.

    - Ask any conservative politician in England, the lead singer of INXS or that bloke who shot an own goal in the soccer - they all know how to choke.

    Now go pack some fudge.
