"Fractal vegetable" describes it. Looks like it's in the mustard family (cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts)- I'd guess it was a hybrid of some of those.

BTW- nice capture of something unique- it had some art to it, rather than being clinical.

It is a Roma Cauliflower, from Rome, Italy. Its very common here in Italy at this time of year. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. Appreciated.
