Well, turns out it is savoy but not savoy cabbage. Its a new breed called salad savoy.

SALAD SAVOY is a member of the Cruciferae family of vegetables - its kin to kale and cabbage, but many first time users often claim that its flavor mildly resembles cauliflower, broccoli or cabbage. When cooked it becomes extraordinarily mellow.

SALAD SAVOY -
Its fluffy, circular heads have white, rose or violet centers framed by curly, deep green outer leaves.

DEVELOPING A NEW VEG -

What MR FOOD (TV) says about it -

veggies, its fat free - and naturally low in calories.

Available year round and easy to use:
Easy to prepare - just place the core end of the head on the counter, place your hands over the leaves close to the central stem and push down with one sharp quick motion. The leaves will separate from the core, then break off the heavy stalks from the leaves and discard the core and the stalks. Wash the leaves in cold water and dry just like you would any other salad green. Store in a plastic bag in the fridge - and SALAD SAVOY leaves will maintain their crisp texture and color for many days.
