Concerning: Artichoke Hearts

Artichoke Hearts = as depicted on the left, a disturbing layering of leaves that looks like a genetic crossbread between a jellyfish and a coral bed. From this perhaps we can speculate that sometime, millions of years ago, jellyfish and coral emerged from the say amid the frogs and lung fish, found a nice quiet spot in the shade, and made sweet love to the roars of the first, small dinosaurs. Out of their coupling sprang the artichoke. Within the artichoke is the fabled heart, that sweet beating vegetable meat that represents the unlikely love between a jellyfish and a coral pollyp. Such beautiful mysteries in nature - a shame that we are just now beginning to truly understand them.
