Brussel Sprouts or Weed?

I was shopping in my local market yesterday and while looking for some basil, ( I was making pesto for dinner, yummmmm ) I came upon this odd looking thing. After giving it a good stare down, I finally realized that it was a bushel of brussel sprouts.

I had never seen them sold like this. I was always used to them already being cut and packaged. As a matter of fact, they actually sold the package ones right next to these.

They kinda look like some funky pot plant , or even a rack of ribs?

I really don't know where I am going with this article. I had a fascinating moment in my life with a bushel of sprout and I thought I would share it with you guys.
