In Germany in 1823 a young man named leroy tucce who was the eldest son of a German farmer and a Swiss dressmaker was on the farm collecting the family vegetables from the farm so his father could bring them to the farmers market, when he noticed quite a few birds on the far side of the farm. He thought maybe his scarecrow had fallen so he went to investigate. It turned out that the birds had gathered to see a new crop which looked like a cabbage. He pulled the head of leaves out thinking it was just overgrown weeds when he heard his father calling him. Without realising he brought the crop to his father and his father examined, washed and tasted it and he later decided to name the new crop after the discoverer.
