Fractals for dinner anyone?

Interesting. Over here it calls itself romanesco cauliflower. One vegetable that actually looks as if it was invented by M C Escher...

But it doesn't taste like cauliflower!

(Thank goodness!)

Ah, I have only seen Romanesco ONCE in the wild, and that was in a gourmet grocery in Great Barrington, Mass.

It's gorgeous, isn't it? Does it taste like a milder broccoli?

A little milder and a little sweeter, but very much like broccoli. This one came from an organic co-op in Milwaukee.

Which organic co-op in Milwaukee? I have been trying to find some here.

The Outpost. They don't have it all the time, just in season.
