Looks like it would’ve made a nice salad.

It wouldn't look out of place in a vegetable patch. I was just curious because I didn't know what it was.

My guess would be a brassica: Brassica juncea rugosa?

That’s a good suggestion, I agree it’s a brassica. I get home to my computer tomorrow so if no one’s confirmed it by then I’ll sort it out.

Pretty sure you’re right, again would like to have a look on my computer when I’m back.

I'm gonna call this Brassica juncea subsp. integrifolia since I'm confident in that ID. Subsp integrifolia includes numerous domesticated varieties such as var. rugosa, and a few other similar looking ones. The system also somehow went a bit haywire when I tried suggesting a new species so I just went and added it manually instead.
