Yes, I agree with Kay.  We've been getting Broccoli Romanesco from our
community supported agriculture farmer for the last few years and it sounds
just like the vegetable that Ray described.  It's beautiful and tastes like
a wonderful cross between broccoli and cauliflower.

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
