This strange cauliflower turned up in a bag of organic vegetables. We were quite stunned but I have since discovered that it is not of extra-terrestrial origin but in fact a 'Broccoli Romanesco'. This veg must be the best example of a natural fractal that I have ever seen! My picture's not great but this website has some excellent pictures and explanation.

the first time I saw a romanescu I couldn't believe it either. A primary school I was in did a vegetable art session - eg romanescu, inside of a red cabbage etc Just amazing.
I think this one is too phenomenal to eat so it will probably still be in our fridge next week.
