Since it's a joke ... any idea where the spinache, pea and artichoke 
pie is from? I have a vague memory of a reference to artichokes in a 
late period English source. It's a period vegetable--I think supposed 
to have been bred from the cardoon well before the end of our 
period--but I don't think it appears much in recipies I know.
