Yes, all related, nevertheless, my sister in law constantly reminds me
that she is allergic to broccoli and then turns around and eats cabbage
and brussels sprouts and cauliflower.
That said, I was almost certain the broccoli was new. So new in fact
that I learned this when I read of the death of the Italian immigrant
who bred it and for whom it is named. I suppose it is possible that he
simply named a particular variation that gained popularity in this
century.
