A colleague of mine brought some Broccoflower into work a while back. After
we got over the "I'm not eating any of that mutant fractal food" jokes, I
tasted some. Basically, its cauliflower with a slight broccoli flavor. I
love both broccoli and cauliflower and thought broccoflower tasted good but
not good enough to replace broccoli. The vegetable it self looks like a
spiraling minaret and has a texture pretty close to cauliflower. Due to
its interesting shape, broccoflower might lend itself to creative
presentations.

Sicnerely,
