An opinion on Cauliflower

Found on FaceBook. :rofl:

Speaking of Facebook, someone posted one of those videos showing you how to make grilled cheese sandwiches, using cauliflower for the bread.

It was supposed to look something like this:

I thought, that looks easy enough. I’ll give it a try.

Well, it came out looking more like this:

fail-1-of-1

With a whole lot of dishes to clean up.

After that experience I decided, cauliflower isn’t worth it.

What is the WORST keto recipe you have tried?

Reminds me of Dave Barry once writing that celery isn’t actually a food - it’s a member of the plywood family.

And it is fortunate indeed that brussel sprouts taste a good deal better than they smell while they’re cooking.

This is hilarious! I have had a similar experience so many times when trying a recipe that looks amazing on Pinterest.

The only time I’ll have it is when l make a stir fry. I use riced cauliflower instead of rice. I fry it in coconut oil and salt. I actually enjoy it quite a bit and has a very similar texture.

Like a lot of things, it’s about how you cook it.

(See the liver thread for more details on how this is very very true.)

Not like I did, that’s for sure. :-1:

You cooked it right but you ate it wrong. Wrong’uns are to be eaten in private - close the curtains, add butter/salt, eat straight out of the pan standing over the sink (optional: in your underwear). Your shame is complete :smile:

I used to wonder for a long time why there was a stretch of road on my way to art school that smelled like someone was cooking cauliflower every day … until I figured out on the city map there was a cleverly hidden waste water treatment facility nearby :joy::joy::joy:

Than being said, I like cooking the stuff until soft and the pureeing it with so much butter and salt and nutmeg that you can’t taste the cauliflower anymore, you just end up with a lovely creamy mash - one of the few things I am bound to eat too much of!

LOVE cauliflower, I have to admit to it creating world class farts though!

I tried one of the Cauliflower Mash recipes - it looked really odd because I used a purple cauliflower (it was on sale). The recipe called for butter, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. I followed it exactly and it turned out really, really good. Maybe a little too much of the lemon zest flavor came through, but I think that may be what counteracts the cauliflower smell.

Though cleanup (food processor) was a bit more effort than I wanted to deal with. Next time I am going to look for recipes where I can just use a hand mixer and mix everything in the same pot I use to boil/steam the cauliflower.

I’ve always liked this recipe:

And my wife makes a great mashed cauliflower. I can’t tell any smell, but then I can drink most hot sauces, and when a server warns me that something is spicy hot, I find it to be mild, so I think my taste buds/smell is not what it used to be.

Personally, I think Cauliflower is the Chicken of the Veggie World. It takes on the flavor of whatever you use it with provided you season it enough. :smile:

Haha! I love cauliflower, but I live right where it grows in California, and those fields sure do stink! :rofl:
