#1000 Broccoflower

About two years ago I noticed something funny as I flipped through a grocery store flyer. On the produce page was an ugly, green-looking cauliflower, with the caption “$2.99! Broccoflower!” It was hilarious. A green cauliflower labelled as a Broccoflower. The bizarre misfit child from two of nature’s most hideous vegetables. The best part is that people usually don’t believe me when I mention it and, to top it off, I’ve never seen it advertised since — like the mutant Broccoflower was shunned by society and has since flown home.

AWESOME!

  7. I wouldn’t call it a mutant or bizarre. Broccoli and cauliflower originated from the same ancestor, wild mustard (along with other veggies such as cabbage, kale and kholrabi). They just came from different parts of the plant. So it is not that strange to have them put together because they used to only grow as one in the mustard plant!
    Just F.Y.I. :)

    (I didn’t take this information from any internet sources. It is something I learned in my university course on plants)

  8. Reblogged this on 1000awesomefriends and commented:
    So for the next month, the plan for this blog is to go through a top 30 countdown, based partly on the numbers, partly on the significance of the post.
    I chose Broccoflower first, since last night Neil said this is where it all started, #1000. Personally, I have never had broccoflower, I must confess, but now I am on the lookout…
