The olive oil and lemon sounds wonderful, too. I tried to get more of this vegetable at the market last week and there was none. I'm not obsessed and can't wait to try all these ideas.

I did the same with a <a href="http://deliciousdeliciousdelicious.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-losing-my-mind.html" rel="nofollow">January King Cabbage</a> and thought I was crazy. Romanesque is like cauliflower's older, cooler and better looking brother. I love it with olive oil and lemon. I still love plain old cauli too though! I love that you photographed it before you did anything to this!

I wrote a post on my blog about it last year and will probably have it for Thanksgiving dinner too. This is one of my favorite vegetables since I ate it in Italy several years ago.

I did a double take at the market and just couldn't resist. They could have told me it tastes like skunk oil and I'd have taken it home with me just to admire its architecture. I'm thrilled it has a pleasant taste and am excited to try some of the suggestions. I know. I did a double take at the market and just couldn’t resist.

One reader says the romanesco holds its shape better than cauliflower, so a gratin sounds like an idea solution. I think a gratin would be perfect.

Leave it to the Italians to produce a vegetable that's as architecturally beautiful as its ancient buildings. I wonder if a gratin would be too heavy for it? I once had a great broccoli/cauliflower gratin with breadcrumbs on top that I just loved. Wow, in all of my years, I’ve never seen Romanesco.

Thanks for weighing in. It's rare to find a vegetable no one hates and this one seems to be a winner. Good to know for family gatherings. No nay-sayers so far. Thanks for weighing in.
