there's so much wild shit out there like, they got a cross between brussel sprouts and kale now, it grows little kale nuggets, it's weird

Im a huge fan of broccolini except idfk what to call it because that's apparently a trade mark of the Del Monte corporation and other places call it "sweet baby broccoli" but that's INACCURATE because it ISN'T BABY BROCCOLI it's actually a cross between BROCCOLI and GAI LAN which yields the succulent floral broccoli tops combined with the crisp crunchy asparagus like stalk of the gai lan and altogether a super premium ultra vegetable. I love that shit

If you want broccolini tips i've been tossing it in a light lemon garlic vinaigrette and then throwing it on the char grill until it's charred and people go omg your broccolini, it is a so amazing

Anyway what are some other good weird brassicas y'all enjoy

I didn't know broccolini was across between broccoli (mid) and gai lan (amazing!). I saw your title and was going to recommend gai lan.

Gai choy (Chinese mustard) is also really good.

you say broccoli is mid but I can guarantee you for an absolute fact bet my fucking life on it, but it's the most popular vegetable, i don't give a fuck what you tell me you're wrong it's broccoli

if you're telling me to cater for 300 people they will eat twice as much broccoli as they would any other vegetable 100000%\

but they don't know what the fuck bc broccolini is even better like omg the stalk, and the florets, unnnnf
