As it says in the article, it's the bottom of an artichoke. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- It is the bottom of the edible heart or it is the stem? Or some other part? —Stephen 12:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Dunno, it doesn't say. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Recipetips.com [[1]] defines artichoke heart as the fleshy center section of the artichoke and the artichoke bottom as the fleshy base section of the artichoke. Stem it is not. --Hekaheka 07:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- This seems to have some value in reducing actual confusion for someone reading a recipe that does not make explicit the distinction in the text. Given that most people have never seen an artichoke "in the wild", they may not even know which end is up. I'm not sure how to put this in CFI terms. DCDuring TALK 11:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I can only nominate articles based on what's in them. Right now it still says the bottom of an artichoke, but if it does have a more precise meaning, let's add it. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:07, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

- No consensus? The problem is, right now it still says the bottom of an artichoke. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:56, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Doesn't anymore. Botanically speaking the artichoke bottom is the edible receptacle of the flower, whereas artichoke heart consists of the soft lower parts of the inner petals. Another issue: shouldn't we re-enter "artichoke heart". It has been deleted earlier by Ivan Štambuk as "non-dictionary material". --Hekaheka 17:30, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Homer must have nodded.
- "Artichoke heart" seems perfectly reasonable. I would think many multi-word recipe terms would be fine additions. Some may be SoP, but many are not. I was surprised that "artichoke bottom" properly defined doesn't seem to be SoP. DCDuring TALK 20:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
