WINTER FEASTING
Summer has left us and so begins the winter season with all its new seasonal food.
Did you know this, about the popular winter vegetable, the HUMBLE ARTICHOKE?
The artichoke is technically a flower bud that has not yet bloomed.
King Henry II's wife, Catherine de Medici, introduced the artichoke to France in the 16th century. She said, "If one of us had eaten artichokes, we would have been pointed out on the street. Today young women are more forward than pages at the court."
Until the 16th century, women were prohibited from eating them in many countries because they were still considered to have aphrodisiac properties.
In 1947 Marilyn Monroe, then still going by her given name Norma Jean, was crowned Castroville's first Artichoke Queen.
