i was totally pumped when i found cheap artichokes the other day. they might have been at wal-mart so maybe i should have been a little leery. so... i notice that this artichoke isn't as tasty as usual- in fact it has negative flavor if that's possible. i peel off another leaf and find the following:
here is another view with the enemies cleverly targeted (jamey's real good with computers).
DIS-GUS-TING don't worry, you're not seeing things. that is totally a
worm sticking out of my artichoke. and those are holes and track marks from the
worm crawling through the entire artichoke.

This is possible the sickest thing I've ever seen. I gagged just thinking about the experience. Good grief. I'm not sure I'll ever eat an artichoke again.
well, you wanted cheap artichokes, right?? i guess you get what you pay for... especially when it comes to produce at wal-mart. do you think you got any wormy bites before you noticed what was going down? some extra protein never hurts. unless that protein is worms. in your mouth... GAAAAAAAHHHH THAT'S SICK!!!
i totally noticed some sketchy black parts and avoided them while eating. it was still a pretty sick experience though
Just be glad you found a whole worm and not half . . .
Did you get your money back? Or did they charge you extra for the worm?
Graphic image alert! The only way around disgusting produce is to grow them yourself -- despite the fact that artichokes are really not a very attractive plant, they are surprisingly hearty and easy to grow. We had one that we thought was a weed (hence, the ugly comment) and tried to kill it, but it only grew stronger, and the plant budded with a dozen chokes. My italian neighbor loved us!
