By Laura Trowbridge.

A doctor in Miami is suing a restaurant because he feels they had a
legal obligation to tell him the proper way to eat an artichoke.

Carvajal said he had "neither seen nor heard of the dish previously,
and his waiter never told him that the outside portion of the leaf is
indigestible."
He
is seeking non-specified damages for bodily injury, pain and suffering,
disability, disfigurement, mental aggravation, loss of capacity for the
enjoyment of life, aggravation of pre-existing conditions and all
medical expenses.

Awwww somebody's a pussy. Hell I was the dumbass trying to eat all the leaf until I realized there was a barb on the end of it after the second bite. Plus they taste like crap if you eat the whole thing. Put me on that jury.

I am put in mind of the Russian tourists earlier in the year eating crawfish for the first time...."No!!! Don't just eat them!! Pull 'em apart, then suck the heads and work the meat out of the tails. NO!! Stop that!!! You don't just eat the darned.........oh well, whatever, enjoy, you obviously don't understand what I'm saying, and you will come to regret this moment. My Georgian friend who speaks and understands Russian who is dieing laughing right behind me should be a clue, but you have fun with that."

I really should have edited that––-the thing about my Georgian friend happened purely in my head, (though he really was there laughing his behind off––-Georgians don't really care for Russians, and the events of 2008 didn't exactly help,) though the rest is pretty close to the actual language used.

His quote reminds me of something I saw a year or two ago. One of my buds had a birthday and we all went out to a seafood joint to celebrate. He orders a ton of shrimp. The shrimp he ordered still had their shell and legs on em. His mom literally did not know what the hell they were, was scared of them and kinda of angry he ordered them. She'd only ever seen or eaten fried shrimp.

It would have been hilarious if they'd have had the heads still on em. I think she would have run out screaming.

The concept of shame is a useful one that serves a great benefit to society. Our determination to be rid of shame is not serving us well. I mean, we have here a gentleman who is apparently completely unashamed to sue people because he does not know how to operate food without hurting himself.

Has anyone ever told him not to eat a lobster shell? Or would people assume that he knows what the fuck he's doing if he orders one in a restaurant. Same thing here.

Case dismissed; plaintiff fined; plaintiff's attorney censured.

Court is adjourned. Bailiff, clear the courtroom.

That's what I said. That's some serious compulsive eating.

Man, this is horrible *crunch, grind* I can't stand this artichoke. Oh well, better eat it anyhow.

Riiight...and it takes a sophisticated diner to know better than to eat the silverware too.

My father tells me a story that always makes me laugh..

in the late 40's, in Italy, after the war, bananas became more common in the countryside markets.. My grand mother, told my great grand mother, that she gave her children (my father and uncle) these new fruits, you know, bananas, that they were very tasty, and nutrient.. She told my great grand mother (born in 1889) to have a try at it..

couple of days later, my great grandma tells my grandma that she is crazy to give this shit to her children, that the things is nasty, and hard to chew...

She had eaten a banana without peeling it 1st..

At least she didnt sue my Grandma !

When I was a kid, we all went to eat at a mongolian BBQ style chinese restaurant where you basically pick the ingredients and have the guy cook it in front of you. When we were leaving, I recall seeing a guy who didn't realize this and was sitting at his table eating raw beef.

We drove back around to that same restaurant about 30 minutes later and I saw an ambulance outside. Not sure if related, though.

And not even possible. I love artichokes. The leaf is very tough. I can't imagine being able to chew one. He must of swallowed them. Some places will cut the tip of the leaf off to remove the barb, so it's possible they did this.

One time back in the 80's, I went over to my friends house after school. There was a paper plate with cubes of yellow and white cheese stacked neatly with tooth picks in them sitting on the Kitchen table. I grabbed a yellow cube and popped it in my mouth. I knew not to eat the toothpick. As soon as the cheese hit my mouth, I spit it out and ran for the faucet.

No amount of washing could get rid of the awful flavor. The yellow cheese was Dial soap.

I left the rest of the cheese on the table and I never tried the white cheese.
