My veg supplier produced a very strange looking cauliflower this week -
cauliflower shaped, but purple. I assumed that, like purple sprouting,
it would go green when cooked, but it didn't - it turned a rich
lavender-purple. Clashed with the carrots something horrible ;-)

Tasted good, though.

I've put the left over bits in the fridge to scare the children :-)

And of course you don`t have to fanny around trying to keep the curd white!!

I have my seed for next year already.

yeah.

Thinking about it, I shouldn't have expected it to go green - the stems
were white, no chlorophyll anywhere. Purple sprouting has green stems.
