And no, don't say it's delicious with cheese sauce. It's the cheese sauce you're enjoying. It's time we stopped letting this evil brassica take the credit for that dish.

OMG and sprouts. little turds of satan. burn them. burn them ALL.

squoosh · 12/09/2016 17:43

Don't burn them, fry them!

I feel a lot of people are scarred by memories of soggy boiled sprouts.

TroysMammy · 12/09/2016 17:44

Celeriac, what is the point?

I love cauliflower boiled (to an inch if its life) in a roast dinner covered in gravy and I love all other vegetables.

I also love cheese sauce but if anyone mentions cauliflower cheese I feel sick. I get the same feeling when someone says mac and cheese. I know it's only pasta and cheese sauce but, bleugh.

I actually can't think of a single vegetable that I don't like
The problem is that I don't like any of them as much as sausages or key lime pie.

Also, you can deep fry cauli coated in breadcrumbs.
Cauli, roll in flour, then in the egg, then the bread crumbs, and deep fry.
😋 I'm now salivating.

Cauliflower florets in vegetable curry and pickles no no no.

Allalonenow · 12/09/2016 17:49

It's okra (ladies fingers) that is slimey stuff of nightmares, and mushy peas are an alien life form.

Placeinthesun · 12/09/2016 17:52

Vile vile cauliflower, makes me shudder. No place for it, ever.

paddypants13 · 12/09/2016 17:55

Errrmm...I think you'll find kidney beans are Satan's food.

I like cauliflower and so do my children!

Huldra · 12/09/2016 18:22

It's wosnderful stuff especially with spice.
Kale, sprouts and green cabbage are the work of the devil. Texture, taste and smell. Don't feed me these lies about frying any of it with pancetta.

CitizenBloom · 12/09/2016 18:26

If no one else has said, roast the cauliflower broken into florets in a small bit of olive oil along with a lemon cut into quarters, and eat it with tahini and a sprinkle of salt.

Parka · 12/09/2016 18:40

I thought it was ... and then I tried this recipe. It is not only cauliflower but it's raw. I'm not kidding, it is delicious and I really didn't like cauliflower much.

scarednoob Grin I actually laughed out loud. I'm holding you responsible for my dd still being awake. note to self do not mumsnet whilst snuggling a toddler to sleep

I bought this beautiful purple floret in the market last week. It was purple cauliflower. beware, the devil comes in many guises

Hassled · 12/09/2016 18:54

I dislike cauliflower, but I'd eat a whole head raw if the alternative was okra. Okra is Satan's excrement.

FurryLittleTwerp · 12/09/2016 18:55

I like cauliflower but can't bear celery braised & served a a vegetable - just so revolting.

Okra is pretty disgusting too.

FurryLittleTwerp · 12/09/2016 18:56

ha ha Hassled Grin

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 12/09/2016 18:57

I love Cauliflower. It's sweetcorn and tomatoes that can get to fuck.

ChameleonCircuit · 12/09/2016 19:00

I love cauliflower. Cheese sauce only enhances the loveliness. Sprouts, however... ICK!

user1471552005 · 12/09/2016 19:01

I must be odd.

There is no vegetable I dislike.

Farmmummy · 12/09/2016 19:14

Love cauli and pretty much all veg (even kale if it's stir fried or done in the oven!) . Mind you I suppose being a veg farm I've no excuse. The evil ones are onions and cooked peppers, they are definitely the devils work!

RaspberryOverload · 12/09/2016 19:15

I like cauliflower. And it doesn't need to be cooked, although it's nice when cooked. Properly, with some crunch left in it.

oldlaundbooth · 12/09/2016 19:20

Green beans are the worst

oldlaundbooth · 12/09/2016 19:21

I stand corrected, it's actually worse than green beans

I just had some yellow cauliflower from the farmers market, roasted in the oven on top of some garlicy tomato sauce, with parsley breadcrumbs on top. It was delicious. So YABU

onemorecupofcoffeefortheroad · 12/09/2016 19:26

I love cauliflower (especially curried but love it on its own too), broad beans, sprouts (I have cravings for sprouts) and beetroot - all divine.

Don't like broccoli although I will eat it under sufferance but cannot bear any form of lettuce or leaves (like spinach or rocket or water cress) ... now they are like eating the hedgerow.
