I bought this afternoon at my local yasai-ya (green-grocer). Damn if I know if this is a sentient being or something for supper.
Question: Should I invite this to dinner or eat it like a cauliflower?
Sentient or supper? (Who knows in Japan)

There have been sightings outside these islands, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli
Damn, “Romanesco broccoli”…That’s a cauliflower* with a college education†.
Depends, if you want to have sex with it, I recommend inviting it for supper first…
If it is not “novelty vegetable” price, you should give it a try. They look cool, the florets keep their structure a bit better than broccoli, and they have a slightly different flavour palette. Take yourself out of the everyday.
“Out“?
Noooooo. It’s Japan out there! Eek!
That is most definitely dinner. Even if it was sentient it’s incredibly delicious and would not hesitate killing it in the name of good eating.
It does look like something out of HP Lovecraft though.
From a professional culinary point of view Romanesco broccoli is the pinnacle of spring veg. It is a very special veg that I am very happy to use. For some strange reason it is available nine months a year here vs. six in Europe and North America.
It looks alien but it is heavenly.
Parboil for 90 seconds and season with (strong) true sea salt and real balsamic vinegar. It’s a big green salad secret cheat amoung the professional circles.
Mr. Broccoflower was a great guest—You were damn right about “parboiling” him since he cooked faster than either broccoli or cauliflower.
Obviously this is the latest tasty treat in Japan’s grass-eating cuisine.
Dafuq is WTF in this video?
Question #3: You mentioned “foreign hunters” just today I read an article that said that young Japanese women commonly falsely accuse foreign men of sexual assault crimes usually as a means of extorting money. What is your take on that? Is “commonly” overstated?”
Herbivore Answer: “It is common for Japanese women to do that. I strongly advise any foreign man to take caution with Japanese women. The best advice would be to avoid areas or situations where you could be trapped. It does not take much to be accused of sexual assault. If a Japanese woman should push for a relationship or a one-night stand at a love hotel, the guy should stay the hell away.”
Dafuq? O_O
After eating this oversized ass drill, one will benefit from carefully studying how to take a shit in Japanese.
