Doing the Whole Foods thing on Saturday, grocery shopping as dear entertainment, I found this in the produce section. Broccoflower, I’m guessing — it wasn’t labeled. How could I not buy it and bring it home? Like a succulent, or a distant world, or, as Jeanne Kelley writes, like coral. We haven’t eaten it yet — will be a shame to break it up for the steamer or the toaster oven, in that peanut oil and salt way that caramelizes so nicely it makes even regular caulifower taste good.
