Got the taste for this vegetable lately, but is the name Broccoli just
a cockney word for cabbage?
Sounds more Italian to me.
As in Cubby? ;-) The green stuff is calabrese in Italian, the purple
stuff is broccoli.
Calabrese is what they call the green stuff in the farm shops in west
Cornwall, but the supermarkets down here still call it broccoli.
