ROMANESCO

Animal, vegetable, or mineral?   That is what I asked myself when these gorgeous creatures came through the washing station at Pleasant Valley Farm.  The design and symmetry are intricately wrapped around a cone shaped head.  Do you eat it?  You can eat it but most people use them for decorating their table was the response.  Needless to say, I was instantly smitten and although  I have tasted one I prefer to look and wonder at creation.   If you need a conversation starter for your Thanksgiving table pick one up at your local farmer’s market.  FYI – it’s a cross between broccoli and cauliflower.  Enjoy!

Peace,
