fractal veggies

(If the alt.binaries.pictures.fractals people have seen this a jillion times, sorry.)



I saw this this morning in our little market, the Good Life Grocery. The produce guy told me it is romanesco broccoli, and the manager said it was cauliflower. Broccoli and cauliflower have been known to fraternize.



The non-fractal objects are Arkansas Black apples.

That looks neat, I ordered seeds. Thanks, Mike

Fractals are cool. If that stuff was around back in Serpinski's day... I would think that is where he got his visions from.

I sliced it horizontally, into flower-looking disks, and steamed them. Really tasty, cross between b and c, but delicate and a little sweet. There's some left, so next time maybe I'll fry the slices in olive oil or butter.

I like broccolini- cross between Broccoli and Chinese Gailan (aka Chinese kale, Kai-lan etc.).

We get a thing here called brocoflower, which looks just like caluliflower but is light green.

Gosh, broccoli will mate with anything! Sort of like the Irish.

I guess you were the result of a lark. :-]
