Might be a UK/English thing - what do you call them?

Broccoli rabe is different than broccolini. They look very similar, but broccoli rabe (also called rapini) is more bitter.

True. In my professional career rapini is sold primarily sold as a green, not as a whole stalk, per se... I actually cooked some Raab on Thanksgiving, and I love the bitterness

Dat kan, ik ben er ook nog niet zo heel lang mee bekend. Toch is het tegenwoordig in elke zichzelf respecterende supermarkt verkrijgbaar.

Tenderstem is a registered trademark in the UK. Same thing though. Hybrid of Chinese kale and broccoli.
