the price of cauliflowers

[RinkyDinkyDoo]

AIBU to not pay £1.17 for a teeny cauliflower.

YANBU

That's daylight robbery

I blame the broccoli lovers scandalous, the price of a cauli these days.

I'm sure they're about £1.40 odd here, up northish. But you get a big fucker for that.

For the first time in my life I can't justify buying oranges at 40p each

At least choc and crisps are really cheap though eh?

I am oooop north, a biggish one is £1.47-bugger that.

I've had one on my fridge for a week. You can have it of you like.

I buy them with good intentions but then find them a bit boring.

Any exciting ideas?

[bgrin]

It does a bit doesn't it? A yellow one anyway.

Break into florets. Pile into a roasting tin. Dust with a little ground cumin. Roast in a really hot oven until it is starting the char a tiny bit around the edges. Heaven.

2 for a £1 here from the farm shop, 4 years ago it was 4 for a £1 that's inflation for you (same for cabbages)

a bit, but still wouldn't pay £1.17 for it

Caveman you are right to blame fancypants broccoli. Good old fashioned British cauliflower has been squeezed out by the upstart green stuff. It's become unfashionable and growers have switched to other crops. Poor cauliflower.

99p where I live. It looks like I am getting a good deal!

Rhubarb AYBU to feel sorry for cauliflower? [bgrin]

Exciting ideas? What, for caulis?? You must be fucking kidding?

Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I buy them either.

Maybe I just like getting done over by farmers

bought a giant cauli for 99p last wweek. they have now gone up to £1.20, but they are about 3x the size of supermarket ones.

about £1.50 near me and they are tiny, we ate 1 between 2 of us tonight, lightly steamed and stirred into pasta, pesto and poached salmon. mmmm

I do resent it tho. and courgettes/aubergines seem ridiculous too.

Yes agent getting done over by a farmer is always a bonus.

Thank you for that Cave, I've never roasted one before, I might try it.

Dont pay it - grow your own.

Or alternatively shock shop somewhere cheaper like Lidl or Aldo or gasp Asda

Cauliflower pakora is scrum ... or tempura?

Cream of cauli soup is lovely too although it does make the whole house smell of stale farts.

Refuse to pay over £1 for it though so wait until Aldi's have it on special.

YABU to eat cauliflowers.

Wait rose and morrisons both £1.17 this week. Same size.

Licks lips and dribbles at the thought of cauli cheese with bacon

I've not had much success growing caulis myself.

I saw fennel bulbs on the market today for 99p each. That's as much as I can contribute to the price of cauliflower debate.

Cauliflower is Satan's vegetable.

It is foul and disgusting and has no place on a decent table.

everyone I've served this to loved it, including kids: cut into small pieces, drizzle with olive oil & juice of a whole lemon, sprinkle with some salt and SMOKED paprika, roast in hot oven until going brown at the edges. Also great steamed, chopped up, sauteed with lemon juice, capers and bread crumbs, then mixed into pasta. seriously. The trick is not overcooking, which makes it truly nasty.
