“What kind of vegetables did they eat in the 18th century?”/“Baroque-oli.”

“Broccoli” is sometimes punned on many images as “baroque-oli.” “What was Bach’s favourite vegetable? Baroque-oli #unfunnyjokes” was posted on Twitter on July 26, 2011.

Wikipedia: Broccoli
Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable.
 
The word broccoli comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means “the flowering crest of a cabbage”, and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning “small nail” or “sprout”. Broccoli is often boiled or steamed but may be eaten raw.
 
Wikipedia: Baroque
The Baroque (US: /bəˈroʊk/ or UK: /bəˈrɒk/) is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, theatre, and music. The style began around 1600 in Rome and Italy, and spread to most of Europe.
