An interesting Evolution-In-Action moment courtesy of the local supermarket. BoingBoing had a brief expression-of-wonder a month ago about the wonderful fractal shapes in my own favourite vegetable, a luminescent green cauliflower called (IIRC) the romanescue cabbage. First time I saw it was in Rome. A visual delight.
Then in my local supermarket, I spotted this half-english, half-roman hybrid. Its flesh is white in colour as per the english/australian/american mass-produced norm, but half of its inflorescences have grown in the romanescue style.
This is a spontaneous hybrid between two types of plant.
Spotted in Tesco's, purchased and eaten. Yum.
Me: still not dead.
But have budded a third arm. Could be useful.
