Artichoke consumption doesn't require bravery, it's just a tasty flower. Lots of flowers are edible.
Wanna talk about bravery? What about a geoduck clam? (gag) Or a sea urchin?

but the legend of the Artichoke is much more interesting
--quote--
According to an Aegean legend and praised in song by the poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, the first artichoke was a lovely youngartichoke flower girl who lived on the island of Zinari. The god, Zeus was visiting his brother Poseidon one day when, as he emerged from the sea, he spied a beautiful young mortal woman. She did not seem frightened by the presence of a god, and Zeus seized the opportunity to seduce her. He was so pleased with the girl, who's name was Cynara, that he decided to make her a goddess, so that she could be nearer to his home on Olympia. Cynara agreed to the promotion, and Zeus anticipated the trysts to come, whenever his wife Hera was away. However, Cynara soon missed her mother and grew homesick. She snuck back to the world of mortals for a brief visit. After she returned, Zeus discovered this un-goddess-like behavior. Enraged, he hurled her back to earth and transformed her into the plant we know as the artichoke.
