Romanesco Broccoli

Romanesco Broccoli

At lunch today, I ordered the vegetable side without asking what the vegetable was. I was delighted (seriously) to find that it was romanesco broccoli–the fractal vegetable.

It was like meeting an inanimate edible celebrity. Until today, I’d only ever seen romanesco broccoli in pictures (which I have used as my desktop wallpaper) and read about it.

Now I can personally support the claim that although it looks like broccoli, it tastes much more like cauliflower.

I also took a picture of tobiko today.
