Calabrese is a type of broccoli, you mongoloid. Pretty weak troll but I wouldn't expect more from a Brit.

They are both brassicas but they are not both broccoli, broccoli is broccoli and calabrese is calabrese, they share similarities since they are different versions of the same plant but calabrese and broccoli are not the same.

>There are three commonly grown types of broccoli. The most familiar is Calabrese broccoli, often referred to simply as "broccoli", named after Calabria in Italy. It has large (10 to 20 cm) green heads and thick stalks. It is a cool season annual crop. Sprouting broccoli has a larger number of heads with many thin stalks.
>Purple cauliflower is a type of broccoli grown in Europe and North America. It has a head shaped like cauliflower, but consisting of tiny flower buds. It sometimes, but not always, has a purple cast to the tips of the flower buds.
