Who ate the first artichoke? And why?

It doesn’t state who but where and when…

That’s all I could find on the subject.

BTW, I love artichokes, they are so tasty when dropped in water filled with various herbs and spices (including garlic) and eaten with a mayonaisse/lemon juice/course pepper combo.

This reminds me very little of a saying about the first man to eat a raw oyster;

“He was either very brave or very hungry…”
