Try Beetroot? Artichoke?

Oh, I like beetroot too...as long as the juice stays off any fabric.
Actually, I tasted Beetroot once or twice from the hospital kitchen... they taste quite alright actually.
But yeah, the pigments are a bother!

Artemus wanted desperately to be a hitman for the mob. In order to be taken seriously, he decided to break into the "trade" with a bang.He put up an open contract that for his first hit, he will assassinate anyone for $1.
The local capo decided to try him out and sent Artemus to murder the local politician who was in the pocket of the rival mob. The capo gave Artemus $1 and asked him how he was going to kill the politician.
Artemus said that he was going to strangle the politician with his bare hands, that will provide a gruesome enough death which will cause a sensation, therefore adding to both their reputations.
So, off Artemus went and staked out the politician.
That night, while the politician was in his study, Artemus crept in and strangled the man. However, the politician was a strong man and put up an almighty struggle, knocking over much furniture and breaking things. The commotion drew his wife who came into the study and screamed her head off from the violence.
Artemus was forced to strangle her to death too as he did not bring any weapons with him.
By this time, the live-in maid was woken up and triggered the police alarm so the siren was blaring away. Artemus, in a rage found her and also strangled her to death.
In that time, the police arrived and arrested Artemus. He was charged with the murder of three people by strangulation.
It was big news.
The next day, all the papers had the headline:
Artie Chokes Three For A Dollar!

And I was just thinking to myself that the name "Artichoke" can trigger wordplay jokes! -
My apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but...
I was at the SO's house last Saturday evening, helping with the dinner preparations.
SO did not like the way I was cutting up the broccoli heads in preparation for steaming; she was complaining that I left too much of the stem on each of the spears. I was cutting the spears to an average length of between 4" and 5" while she wanted them no longer than 3" each. claiming that the stems had minimal nutritional value.
I've alway prepared my broccoli spears with as much of the stem attached as I like the sensation of biting into them. However, her comment about the lack of nutrients in the stem gave me pause. Is there any validity in her claim?
How do you cut up your broccoli heads? How much of the stem do you leave on the spears?

Really? I always thought the stems of any veggie is the most nutritious.
Anyway, the stems are the tastiest ma >.<
Like the cabbage for example, the stem is prized for making soup for the Japanese because it is the sweetest part of the cabbage and most nutritious

Veggie bagus!
