When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Shilpa Baliga Mar 1, 2021:
Why keep in the reference to Bari here? If we were referring to a product with an IGP, pistacchio di Bronte for example, it would be important to keep in the reference to the provenance. In this case, the poor broccoli is just an ingredient in a dish (on a restaurant menu, I assume). The "barese" perhaps makes the dish more attractive to an Italian speaker choosing a dish, but adds nothing (except confusion?) to an English-speaking diner.

broccoli

This variety is the most common one, the one that we just call "broccoli".

This recipe for example calles for "broccolo barese" and the images show what we call plain "broccoli" in English:

The "barese" appears to be referring to the variety (i.e. NOT brocclli rabe etc), much like "Spanish onions" now refers to a variety.

FWIW even Wikipedia (on the "broccolo" page) says "In Campania è noto come broccolo o broccoletto barese".

agree Shera Lyn Parpia : They certainly don't look different from plain ole broccoli!
