Weird Vege


I have posted this on my photo blog. I was walking by the supermarket in Siam Paragon in Bangkok, when I came across this vege. I do not know what it is? Lilian drops a comment and say it could be a broccoli. I guess so. It could be a type of broccoli. Anyone knows what is this???

My first thought is that its "skin" is build with a thorn like structures like cactus. It could be grow in some kind of desert. Umm but the problem is, its soft not sharp like cactus. It could be some kind of fruit instead of vege. But it was actually located at the vege section along the normal looking broccoli...umm...anyone....

Updates *** Info given by Dani, this vege is called Romanesco broccoli and is a Italian variety.

if tht were to be one of those green brocolli, i would never eat it. its just to gross. its like a human brain covered with algae. yuck!

then again, the most disgusting food may be the most delicious of the lot. u shld buy and make a good dish out of it.
