Got the taste for this vegetable lately, but is the name Broccoli just
a cockney word for cabbage?


We like it too, and we grow it on the allotment. I don't know the origin of
the name, it doesn't seem all that cockney to me, but it is one of the
brassicas, like cabbage, cauliflower, kohl rabi etc.
