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.
