Can we have a word about purple sprouting broccoli? Thank you. Firstly, it's called PURPLE sprouting broccoli. Purple! Purple isn't a colour you would readily associate with vegetables. Or really, any foodstuff. Can you name any other foods that are purple? (Apart from these, yum). Secondly, there's also the word SPROUTING in the name. Sprouting! With its connotations of Brussels sprouts, that most hated vegetable. So, I really think we ought to rename PSB for its own sake. (Also, it isn't really that purple). Let's call it something like Smaller Yummier Broccoli, or SYB for short. Because it is both smaller, and yummier, than your common-or-garden broccoli. Thank you for your time.
PSB/SYB is a rare find in our veg box, so I don't like to play around with it much when we do get it. This time, we stirfried it for a couple of minutes, and served it on top of some soy-sauce-drenched noodles and some crushed peanuts. Yom.
Back on the wagon, you'll notice. Sigh.
