Is baby broccoli the same thing as broccolini?

I believe so, the tag on it called it broccoletta, the sign said baby broccoli.

It's long and thin, with flowers and quite sweet raw. I still haven't steamed it, yet. Waiting for the curry to get done. At this rate, I may wait until tomorrow, because I've been grazing the produce I brought home. The kale salad is fantastic.

No. Broccolini is an Italian vegetable that has small florets similar to broccoli, but it has softer stems. I've never eaten it (I have to have a low-fiber diet), so can't comment on the flavor.

I made lots of chicken tortilla soup yesterday; I think DH had some. I have no appetite.

So, if it's not broccolini, what is it?

Okay, this is the stuff I bought: Broccolette | Earthbound Farm Organic

After fighting with the oven, I figured out what was wrong. It took a bit longer than it should have, but supper turned out really delicious. Danish meatloaf, roasted potato wedges, and Danish red cabbage.

Looks good Tax!

That sounds like broccolini. Broccolini is the name one company uses. I'm guessing that brocolette is the name another company uses. Broccolini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When I searched Google for baby broccoli and brocolette, it showed that Wikipedia article.

I still have to wrap some bacon around a meatloaf and call it a 'dillo.
Very nice.

Thank you. I was tempted to eat too much, but I resisted.

Thanks. Yup, wrap bacon 'round it and it looks kinda armadillo-like.

I did game day food. Homemade garlic fries, honey garlic wings, sweet and spicy farmer sausage and raw veggies with ranch dip.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Ah! Finger foods! Looks good, SB!

Yum! That looks absolutely delicious!

I've been watching football most of the day, so we had a refrigerator grab bag night tonight.

On Tuesday Rocklobster posted photos of Naan bread pizza. Tonight, Himself and I ate Naan bread pizza. OhBoy was it good! Unfortunately for my waistline, no leftovers.

Good stuff, Taxy and Bunny!

Nice meals, all!

Thanks. Steve, you should embrace your Danish heritage and give this a try. It just occurred to me that I could mix this in my new Cuisnart food processor, using the dough blade.

Thanks Dawg, first time I had dine garlic fries, they were tasty.

 

[pacanis]

mmmm, honey wings
