I felt we needed one.

I intend to eat a broccoli heavy stir fry fairly soon.
I ate some just now in a dish labelled "spicy Italian". It was labelled by me.
Tonight I plan to eat more broccoli. Brassica 4 Life, yo.
I approve of this topic: broccoli is good.
Since we've had a photo of conventional broccoli, I feel we should also have one of fractal broccoli, otherwise known as Romanesco broccoli - an unexpected convergence of maths and brassicas:

More information at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli) and a more detailed article (http://www.fourmilab.ch/images/Romanesco/).
I think I prefer Romanesco as food, as well as it being the prettier form :)
Deep fry that armadillo and dip it in ranch dressing. :)

I've never actually eaten it; the descriptions on the pages I linked to sound tempting.
I had no idea it existed until I found some in my local supermarket, about 18 months ago. My immediate response was pretty much "Wow! Fractal broccoli! :D ". If it didn't exist, somebody should invent it.
I love broccoli. When I was a child I used to pretend to be a giant eating trees.
As you do.
Jenny still does that.
I wonder if many people have actually made food dioramas using broccoli trees...
There's a UK food distribution company (3663 until recently, now Bidvest) that has a very pretty rural scene on the side of its lorries, with broccoli "trees" and everything else made from food too.
There's a nice picture of one at the top of this article (http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/home/latest-news/3663-expects-rapid-growth-to-continue/352966.article).
Huh, yes, that is pretty cool :)

that looks amazing. Though I say that about most deep fried things.
I tried making fried khachpuri today. I fried it too hot so it didn't go very well, but I might try it again sometime!
Deep fried broccoli shall be attempted once weight is no longer being cut. Looks amazeballs.

It's a broc collie :D
:picard_facepalm:
Even better:
Excellent :P
Broccoli is definitely my favourite Vegetable. Zucchini is my second favourite, which come together as Squash as my second favourite because they're pretty much the same.
Thinly sliced, deep fried zucchini is pretty much the best food. Though also very hard to make.
