I had lots of fun at the Dupont market this morning – I took my time and really soaked in the atmosphere. I made a point to go to several different vendors I don’t usually purchase from, and just generally worked on not being in a rut and really seeing the market through a newcomer’s eyes, rather than the routine weekly shopper I am there. It really made the experience more fun and novel.
Seeing these bright yellow and purple cauliflower helped the novelty part too:
Apparently they taste just like regular cauliflower. They are even more striking in sunlight:

love the contrast in colors. good job on your artist's date!
I love the pictures of the cauliflowers! I've never actually seen purple cauliflower before. I wonder if there's any nutritional difference? I wish there was a farmers market where I lived!
Purple cauliflower is so much fun because it does taste exactly like cauliflower and you're not expecting that.
Which market is this?
Ohhh these pictures are great! I had no idea purple cauliflower even existed.
Melita – the colors are so fun.
Delectable Swank – thanks for stopping by
My understanding nutritionally is that the yellow are about the same as the white, and the purple have more minerals. But overall, not that different.
Jen – oops, sorry I didn't mention it – it's the Dupont Market in Washington DC
Lauren – I know, aren't they fun. And I am so glad you like the pictures
They really are lovely, aren't they! I've seen the purple ones once or twice in our market. Must try them.
how beautiful! I've never even seen purple cauliflower!
what an awesome date! love the photos
What a great way to spend a few hours. The contrast in colour of the cauliflowers is fantastic….
