I had a green cauliflower last week, made it in to a gorgeous soup - they're certainly strange looking

Romanesco is an amazing looking vegetable, and it has some strange mathematical properties as well. Have a look at this:
Romanesco broccoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isn't nature amazing!
Celeriac is great in soups, as it thickens the soup when you blend it. Great with chicken. Wouldn't win any beauty contests though!!
I love trying new vegetables. Tried some different squashes recently, but to be honest they weren't as nice as butternut squash, although the shapes and colours were great.
I like pak choi in a stir fry.

There is a classic French dish of peas cooked with lettuce. Can't stand peas myself, but it looks interesting.
Isn't it nice to be contributing to a thread with people who are interested in vegetables instead of moaning about having to eat them!!

It smells like celery and there is a celery-like taste to it but the texture is very different. I love it, but I also like celery.

I've not had Romanesco Cauliflower/broccoli for years but loved it. Used to buy it at Sainsbury's but not seen it for a long time and don't shop there any more

Celeriac almost has a potato consistency/texture. My dad uses it in sliced potato dishes - like a dauphinois but without butter and cream! Stock instead!

2nd vote for purple sprouting broccoli here! I haven't had it in a while but it's lovely. Years ago I used to meet friends at a cafe for lunch every Saturday, their purple sprouting broccoli in tomato sauce was my favourite thing.
