I bought a cauliflower a couple of days ago and on peeling back the

small (2 - 3 cm) perfect mini caulis.

Anyone else come across one of these? In umpteen years of buying caulis
I have never come across one like this before.

Not quite the same, but in a similar vein, is Romanesque cauliflower,
if you've never come across it. Images here http://tinyurl.com/ms2bw8v

I've eaten Romanesque caulis. Very decorative (probably the perfect veg
if you're into fractals!), but taste the same as ordinary caulis.
