Seriously. Does anyone know what this is? This came in our latest crop share box. I am scared. Leah- I'm counting on you, girl. Help me out. Can someone please name this
Regardless of what it is, my husband has insisted that he is NOT eating it, and if I sneak it into some kind of dish he will revolt. Got it.

ANGELA! This looks like the most deformed octopus I have ever seen! I can't wait to hear what this thing is!
Romanesco broccoli!!
:)
YIKES. I am afraid.
I would think some form of cauliflower or broccoli.
Am I right?
Oh and it reminds me of the 'monster' in Little Shop of Horrors. ;0)
I honestly thought it was a sea creature. It disturbed me know that it was growing in your yard. I would drive to the ocean and put it back where it came from. I am sure it got lost, or a wrong turn or something.
Just last week I saw one of these Romanesco things on a homeschool science site talking about Fibonacci numbers/spirals in nature. Here's where I found it (about 3/4 down the page):

(If you actually want to check it out, you may have to type out most of this address manually.)
Each little growth is identical to (but a smaller version of) the thing as a whole...and tastes like a cross between broccoli and cauliflower.
Math and science can be yummy. I wish I had one of 'em. Have fun with it!
