So the "organic choke" would be to apply slight pressure on the accelerator
during the warm-up period to "raise the idle"...

With Weber 34's  I never give a shot of gas with the accelerator before
starting the engine, this only seems to make it hard to start.  Right as the
engine starts, I gently press the accelerator and then hold the engine at a
slightly higher rpm (whatever is smooth).  I drive away when I have a smooth
idle with no pressure on the accelerator.  Depending on the temp outside
this takes 1-3 minutes.
