Got the taste for this vegetable lately, but is the name Broccoli just
a cockney word for cabbage?
Cabbage you eat the leaves, broccoli you eat the flower buds.
Sounds more Italian to me.
As in Cubby? ;-) The green stuff is calabrese in Italian, the purple
stuff is broccoli.
So is it italian for 'purple sprouting'? ;-)
