Table decoration or vegetable...

Last week we encountered some very interesting things in our CSA basket. After a few weeks of receiving deep purple cauliflower, we thought we had seen it all. This week we received a yellow cauliflower head, and given our past experiences with cooking the purple one, which just did not look appetizing once sauteed, we opted to eat this one raw. The other new and interesting thing in our basket was the Romanesco Cauliflower head. It hails from Italy, where else would you develop a chartreuse edible? All three of us voted for this one to become a pretty, interesting, conversation starting table decoration. It just did not look like it ought to be eaten. It is still looking pretty green after several days out on the table... maybe I will sneak it into a stir fry later on this week?
