I second the call for man-eating snow cabbages! One of my major disappointments with the original IWD was the lack of plant based threats. Vegepygmies and Shambling Mounds forever!
Oh no, nobody would survive the Greater Whirlwind Broccoli and Cauliflower Attack...
I sure would when I have my mage cast Horrid Wilting on them. Aren't plants weak to Horrid Wilting?
Unfortunately, much like real life, there is no easy way around broccoli.
The only way around broccoli is through it! Right @Shandyr ?

That there (romanescue cauliflower) is one of the most delicious veggies period, up there with black salsify, leaks, and shallots. I tend to eat fairly large amounts of veggies, but not as much fruit. I try to stick to nutritionally dense veggies, like kale, brocolli, parsley etc.

*GASP* Obviously you have been brainwashed by the insidious broccoli psionic attack.
As you are well aware... Before multicellular life dragged itself from the primordial oceans... The land belonged to plants, vegetables and fruit of all kinds. It was a time of plenty and of blissful peace that lasted for millennia.
The civilisation of Cauli flourished and blossomed. The flower people. So beautiful in spirit and enlightenment, that even today the Cauli race are often referred to as Cauliflowers.
But it did not last. The Greater Demon Broccoli, easily led astray the young pollen of Cauli kind and promised them colour... They took it... And in their greed, coveted the colours of their neighbours. In the end, they all turned putrid green in their jealousy! The Greater Demon Broccoli and his chosen veg King Kog, persuaded the green coats that it was the fault of their elders. A great war was fought. Queen Ester of Cauli led her people. The Demon Broccoli was destroyed, but his name was kept by those of the Green. The great civilisation of Cauli was destroyed and in the power vacuum, fish were sucked up onto land to gulp in air... (Honest, Darwin had nothing to do with it... It was the power vacuum named Dyson...)
Scattered, the good Cauliflowers and evil Broccoli, still to this day cannot be seen on the same plate together. (And now YOU know why...)
But a new threat, has arisen. Out on the tundra, snow cabbages have been growing wild... Whole fields taken over with Iceberg Lettuces, and Crazy Carrots.
Queen Esters forces are cast to the four winds... But a few loyal Cauliflowers remain.
It will take a special kind of vegan to defeat them.
If you have the vitamins... If you have the greens... If you have the moral fibre... Then you to can be...
THE NEW LORD OF PARSNIPS!
Always there destroying the root vegetables of evil!
So it was a diabolical plot by the Cabbages all along!!! Pitting broccoli against cauliflower so they can reign supreme! What fools we were, should have known broccoli couldn't have orchestrated all of this...
I don't know where this thread went off the rails, but I'm going to have to ask people to stay on topic. If you want to discuss the history of vegetable societies, please continue it in a new thread.

Right @Shandyr ?

Snow cabbages are a new deadly threat to the world!
Where's my weapon...
*Anduin will return*
THE STORY SO FAR...

But I thought that was one artichoke too far...
I actually think the OP was pretty cool. The snow cabbages lured me off topic and to my doom...
