The first time we saw Romanesco Broccolo was Italy. There was green ones and purple ones if I'm not mistaken. Yeah man, we cooked with them regularly.
Your article got me going. I miss markets like that. Just yesterday she was reminding me we're doing Christmas in Greece this year. Have you seen markets there yet? Just as impressive as where you are.
But the fresh fish I could've done without. We're scheduled to be outta this landlocked state in April. Until then or unless these devices advance enough you can text message me a couple pounds, wipe your lucky ass with fresh fish!
I think they are sometimes called Italian broccoli actually. I haven't seen the purple ones before. I've seen purple cauliflower though which I imagine is very similar.
We haven't been to Greece yet so I haven't seen the markets there. You'll have to take photos and do a post when you go so I can see them.
Reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory lol
