Can you name this culinary preparation?


This culinary dish, like many others, has several stories that are told about how and where it originated.
It was created at Delmonico's in New York, or maybe at Claridge's Hotel in London, or even in Miami, Long Island or at the Waldorf.
It may have been created by Foxhall Keene (or J.R. Keene), or by the Chef at Claridge's (and named for his father).
Other stories tell of its creation by Chef George Greenwald at the Brighten Beach Hotel, and named for his boss. The date of its creation range from 1881 to the 1920s!

Thought to have been cultivated since about the 13th century in Europe, Brassica oleracea gemmifera are usually sold loose rather than on the stalk.
These vegetables are high in carbohydrates and fiber, and are also good sources of vitamins A and C, potassium, phosphorus and calcium.
Great Britain has more than 5 times the acreage of this vegetable planted as all of the U.S. combined. In France and Belgium, small ones smaller than a grape are preferred.
