Romanesco!! I actually bought a little romanesco plant the other day in Kmart, i'm hoping it will grow cos it was looking very sad when i got it..

It looks like coral. Eep.

I googled romanesco, and this came up. Bold as Love seems to be right.

"I googled romanesco" sounds like a sex act performed in Italy.

Thank you! Do you eat it like cauliflower? I like this photo much better than any cauliflower one I have...

I've never seen this before. Looks kind of alien.

According to Wiki, you eat it more often raw but can cook it like broccoli, except it takes less time to cook it.

pretty....

I think the tag on my plant said lightly steamed...

I think I saw this on the Food network in the last few months. Cooking with Jamie (oddly enough). Looks good.

I don't know..I've never seen one of those before but it sure is pretty.

It looks like a fractal of a section of cauliflower.

Um.... I don't know but ... it doesn't look like I'd want it in my mouth. :D

Oh yeah, i see these at the chinese market sometimes.

It looks like a fractal of a section of cauliflower.

Definitely a fractal! 8:-)

Oh I don't know but that sure looks gross!

How fascinating! I have never seen this before - or heard of it. After you try it, let us know what it tastes like please!
