In the Mathematical Lives of Plants post, astanhope left a link to this photo of a vegetable he snapped in Paris. It's called Romanesco Broccoli {wiki} and the picture is well worth posting for everyone to see. http://users.ncable.net.au/~urbanfoodgarden/Web/Vegetables/VEGETABLES%20VARIETIES/BROCCOLI_Romanesco.htm to growing information. Link to a page about nature’s math where I found the name for it.

I found someone selling these in the Union Square Market in NYC not too long ago and I bought one. I just stared at it for a while, and brought it around in a bag for my friends and family to see, its just so crazy looking.
Anyway, I finally got around to cooking it and it was delicious!! I chopped it up and broiled it for a bit with olive oil, salt and pepper. It tastes like a combination of broccoli and cauliflower, its very nutty. they're great!
