How about rainbow chard?

I could probably deal with that.

Now I'm craving blue potatoes.

A couple years ago one of the local supermarket chains had some darker carrots that of course were higher priced, and sold poorly I suspect. I haven't seen them in months...

from http://website.lineone.net/~stolarczyk/queen.html

Spent umbels curl inwards forming a depressed cup. The fruits are covered in hooked spines, which aid dispersal by clinging to the fur of passing animals. Flowering period (in England) is from June to August and the native biennial can reach a height of 90 centimetres.

They grow taller than that here, there were some in my yard last year that IIRC were at about 150 cm....

Blue potatoes--I prefer red ones, but prefer blue corn over red. Annoyingly, three's nowhere within 100 miles that carries Arrowhead Mills blue cornmeal anymore, alas.
