Heading Broccoli Varieties

Okay...I either have to find another heading variety of broccoli, or another husband. Since I like my husband better than broccoli, I choose to change the former :D

I can grow the most gorgeous, gigantic, blue green broccoli around...Ed HATES the variety. It's Waltham 29. I personally like the taste, sort of "asparagussy". Ed hates asparagus. After eating NINE heads of broccoli by myself (gave the chickens the side shoots, canned the greens) I give...

Is there a heading variety that tastes more like the market varieties? I've gone to the market to check and see if the variety he likes is listed on the label..it says "product of Chile".

I've planted some organic broccoli (don't expect anything, the seed is 6 years old and of an unknown variety but if it grows and he likes it..I'm good at collecting seed).

Any suggestions? Ed LOVES broccoli, he has special dietary needs and I can get the first heads by late Nov if I start now.
