Artichokes: Food Quotes


“Life is like eating artichokes; you have got to go through so much to get so little.”
Thomas Aloysius (Tad) Dorgan, Cartoonist
 

“Remind me to tell you about the time I looked into the heart of an artichoke.”
Bette Davis as Margo Channing in 'All About Eve' (1950)
 

"These things are just plain annoying. After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual "food" out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps. Have the shrimp cocktail instead."
Miss Piggy
 

Pliny called the artichoke "one of the earth's monstrosities."
 

“In the centre of a spacious table rose a pastry as large as a church, flanked on the north by a quarter of cold veal, on the south by an enormous ham, on the east by a monumental pile of butter, and on the west by an enormous dish of artichokes, with a hot sauce.”
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, (1755-1826)
‘The Physiology of Taste’
