Or is cauliflower Satan's own vegetable?

[Iwasjustabouttosaythat]

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.

Kale, sprouts, okra and green cabbage are the only veg I can't stand.

I far prefer cauliflower to broccoli.

Broad beans are the devils earwax, and WTF is kale for? cook it until doomsday and it'd still be chewy and if I wanted that flavour I'd suck wire wool. Also parsnips are just wrong

I love broad beans! They have to be peeled though, which is quite a faff. Those white leathery bitter jackets are hideous.

Celery tastes like BO smells. Grim.

Cauliflower is lovely in aloo gobi. I have to agree with the pp who said aubergine is the worst. Can't stand it

I love vegetables. Except avocado. Avocados can go and fuck themselves the slimy bastards.

Avocado slices wrapped in bacon are delicious

What is wrong with all you people? I like nearly every vegetable mentioned, though not I can't get excited about celery.

Cauliflower makes great soup.

Beetroot is good grated raw in to a salad.

Broad beans cooked very briefly then cooled quickly and slipped out of their skins are lovely in a salad

Avocados are fruit, so you don't even have to pretend to like them. To me they are crack. Mashed on toast, on top of Mexican food, by itself with lemon juice and black pepper.... yuuuuum!

Leeks, celery, peppers and worst of all onions!
Leave cauliflower, mushrooms and broad beans alone poor things!

You forgot sprouts and broad beans, will eat pretty much any other veg..

Celery. The pinnacle of the work of Satan and all his minions. It's just...nothing. It's the food equivalent of a black hole. Somehow that stringy yet not-there-at-all texture permeates anything it is added to. And raw... suffering Jesus.

It sucks all of the taste and joy out of your mouth, and for a moment in time all the vibrancy and colour of the world is lost.

Yuck.

Ah! OK, soit spoils the fun but makes lighting up after a quick one safer.

French restaurants add bicarbonate of soda to the cooking water. A good rinse et voila! No duvet lifters. This works for most squeek inducing vegetables and so is banned in South Korea where farting in lifts is obligatory.
NB. Do not try to see if the practice of ignighting a fart actually works especially while still sitting on the loo. It does work and you stand to napalm your undergrowth ... and all that nests within.

My husband loathes all brassicas (also spinach) but to be fair they do make him throw up....

Courgettes caused me to question if there really was a God - they are disgusting!!

worst are broad beans, followed closely by cauliflower

Cauliflower has to be really fresh or it does taste of farts.

Tip a load of very good olive oil in the pan (or mix of olive oil and butter), salt it heavily and fry some garlic in it for 1 min. Then toss in a load of steamed cauliflower and cook it down until it's getting soft. I defy any child (or grown up) not to eat that.

The above, with some black pepper and a squeeze of lemon it's also a good pasta sauce.

There are no bad vegetables, just badly cooked vegetables.

With the exception perhaps of a marrow..? God know what to do with that.

Aubergines are the most evil vegetable on the planet IMO.

My DS used to vomit immediately if he even put a tiny bit of cauli in his mouth. Once when he was quite small, a host put some on his plate and I didn't notice until he chucked up all over the table. He was trying to be a good boy and eat what was on his plate.........
Having said that, I don't mind cauliflower if it's cooked lightly, but what's this thing about kale chips. Don't know if they're fashionable in the UK but here in the Antipodes, they're the latest thing to serve with before dinner drinks. They are like thinly sliced crunchy cardboard with an awful taste of overcooked greens - Bleurrrrgh!

Loads of you are weird!

The evilest of vegetables is the pea. Odd alien things that don't taste at all like they look and people keep putting them in dishes so it ruins them.

Peas are nasty things and tarragon is the evilest of herbs.

Until 3 weeks ago I'd have agreed with you, but then dh cooked this: www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/roasted-cauliflower-with-cumin-coriander-and-almonds/

Cauliflower cheese is one of Dh's favourites - he also loves it raw.

I sometimes do a cauliflower/macaroni cheese mix - with lots of good cheesy sauce, topped with breadcrumbs and more cheese and whacked under the grill.
Delish. I did it the other day with 50/50 cauli/broccoli - also delish.

The only veggie things I don't like are fennel and dill. Taste horrible to me.
Can't see the point of aubergines, but will eat them in something where they're just a filler with a tasty sauce.

I used to loathe coriander - while living in the Med many decades ago I once bought some after mistaking it for flat leaf parsley. Yeugh!! Couldn't understand why anyone would want to eat anything so evil-tasting.
Quite like it now, though.

Should have added, sauce MUST be very cheesy and the cauli MUST be al dente.
No wonder so many people hate c/cheese when the sauce is so often thin and barely tastes of cheese, and the cauliflower is boiled to a mush.

meowmeow agree about peas!! Hated them since I was a kid

One word of advice, when on holiday in the Agean, Adriatic or Mediterranean areas avoid eating a combination of any of these brassicas with Black cuttlefish - squid ink mushroom risotto.... You could find yourself flitting from the redecorated hotel bedroom at 03.00 am.
