The grocery store mystery is solved. I pass this little guy from time to time, chilling out next to his friend broccoli and cauliflower and I think to myself:
HmmmPast theories included it being a broccoli-cauliflower hybrid. Why didn't I buy it? For fear of ruining its fantasy evoking shape and fractals with a potentially displeasing taste.
I have discovered its English name: Romanesco Broccoli. A few second on google and I learned that's it's delicious raw.
PS. I found this website where the author takes her adoration of the Romanesco Broccoli Fractals to a whole new level.
