Now they call it "calabrese"
Nah - it's a different vegetable, and trust me on this because I grow both (whatever Delia may or may not say!)
Broccoli is a much taller and leggier plant that continues to stand through much of the winter (with purple and white sprouting forms), and calabrese is a quick-growing summer/autumn plant that is not hardy and grows larger florets that are comparatively like little green cauliflowers.
I love both but they are distinct and different in taste, texture, appearance, aroma, season....
