Sequoia Brussels sprouts are delicious but it's pretty hard to finish one.

This is especially funny to me because I tell people all the time about kale being a man made (cultivated) plant from the wild mustard seed.
Is it not the case that kale, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage are all basically derived from the same plant?
This is what I've been told, but I am very ignorant of such matters and while you will say that I can simply Google the issue, which is true, it's never been enough of a priority for me to do so, goddammit.
As for Sequoia sempervirens or Sequoiadendron giganteum being forms of broccoli, I do in fact know enough dendrology to know that it's bullshyte.
Yes, which is why this image is funny to me.
Fair play
