Is the artichoke the only food item that contains a verb in its name?

Maybe toast?

Popcorn.

But both of those are verbs taking action on "pre-verb, food-nouns" probably.

Pokeweed. Only the young shoots are edible. As the plant matures, it becomes poisonous.

Poke is a traditional southern Appalachian food. The leaves and stems can both be eaten, but must be cooked, usually boiled three times in fresh water each time. The leaves have a taste similar to spinach; the stems taste similar to asparagus. To prepare stems, harvest young stalks prior to chambered pith formation, carefully peel the purple skin away, then chop the stalk up and fry in meal like okra. Traditionally, poke leaves are boiled, drained, boiled again, then fatback is added and cooked some more to add flavor. Poisonings occur from failure to drain the water from the leaves at least once. Preferably they should be boiled, drained, and water replaced two or more times.

Lay('s) potato chips. Two verbs! 

No.  Don't be corny.

You are half bananas.

Don't brown me off now.

Oh wait, that's a color.   I'm done.
