Purple Romanesco broccoli

It looks almost as though it could be either a cauliflower or a broccoli though I would cook it and use it as I would normal broccoli.

It is certainly a handsome vegetable. Our local shop M&B, Outwell had some in recently and the sight of them stops you in your tracks - you just have to buy one! Only 85p (November 2020).
