There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.” |

Artichoke Preparation: Cut the stems and most of the leaves off the
artichoke. With a paring knife, whittle off the leaves at the base to
expose the heart. Scrape the fibrous "choke" to leave only the
disk-shaped heart. Rub the heart with lemon. Cook with salted
boiling water for about 8 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold
water. Set aside. Bearnaise Sauce: In a heavy saucepan, combine wine,
tarragon vinegar, shallots, fresh tarragon and white pepper. Boil to
reduce to 3 tablespoons. Let cool. Meanwhile, melt the butter; cool
slightly. Add egg yolks to vinegar mixture and cook over low heat,
whisking constantly, for 1 minute or until the consistancy of
mayonnaise. Do not overcook or it will curdle. Whisk in the warm
melted butter in a thin stream into the wine mixture. The sauce will
thicken. Whisk in salt, cayenne and white pepper to taste. Keep warm
in a pan of warm water. Poach the 4 eggs 3 minutes in 2 quarts of
water and 1 tablespoon wine vinegar. Remove with a slotted spoon and
trim edges. Keep in warm water. To assemble, heat the artichoke
hearts and blot dry. Spoon a bit of the Bearnaise Sauce into each
heart. Place a poached egg on top and spoon more sauce over. Serve at
once.
