Love child 'kalette' is part kale, part Brussels sprout, all British veg

The prospect of eating kale or Brussels sprouts might make some people gag, but a British company is hoping a hybrid mix of the two vegetables called “kalettes” will appeal to taste buds when they start to hit the broad US market this fall. 

The tiny, curly-leafed purple and green sprouts are being promoted as the first major new vegetable product since "broccolini", a cross between broccoli and the Chinese leaf vegetable kailan, was introduced in the US in 1998.
