Cauliflower Cheese does not belong

[Beaverdam100]

And it doesnt belong on a roast dinner either?

Love veg and love cheese but not mixed. Ergh, just no!

It is particularly delicious with roast lamb, we always had as a side dish for roast meat growing up.

I never even encountered cauliflower served without a cheese sauce until I was an adult.
I was utterly bewildered, why on earth would you serve plain boiled cauliflower?

I like it now with sausages or gammon or roast pork, or roast lamb.

YABVVVU. I love cauliflower cheese, the one I make is delicious

I've heard a couple of people rave about cauli cheese soup, has anyone tried it?

I made a version yesterday, with blue cheese in at the end. 1 medium potato, 1 onion, 1 large cauli, simmered in chicken stock and then I added the remainder of my stilton block just before blitzing. Curried cauliflower soup is also nice; just add garam masala (and a bit of cream never goes amiss).

I agree with you OP.

Even worse though is broccoli cheese. I love broccoli when steamed or boiled but baked it tastes like how a fart smells. Combined with cheese and it makes me heave.

YANBU. Cheese has no place in a roast dinner.

Cauliflower cheese has a place everywhere and is a staple on ALL my roast dinners!

It's people like you, OP, that make me sick. How you can stand to show your face here with those kind of views, I do not know.

Roast beef. Parnsips. Potatoes. Yorkshire puds, Horseradish sauce. Cauliflower cheese. Prob some uncheesed, unroasted veg as well. Heaven.

cauliflower cheese = delicious

cauliflower cheese on a roast - BLEURGH! Don't know how anyone ca mix them. Gravy and cheese sauce yuck. flavours are wrong, sauces are wrong.
Just. wrong.

In the 1980s my mum went on a diet and exchanged cauliflower cheese for cauliflower with tinned tomatoes on top, and a sprinkling of cheese. It was very very wrong, and tasted of disappointment, but I was too young to move out!
I dont normally have cauliflower cheese with a roast but mainly because it's too much faff and creates more washing up....but it's definitely not out of place.

We cannot be friends, sorry OP!

One of our local pubs does a fabulous homemade version with a marmite topping. It is utterly wonderful.

I've never understood cheesy veg with roast dinners either - the combination of cheese sauce and gravy just turns my stomach.

It so does belong, together with cheesy leeks too

Try a leftover cauliflower cheese toasted sandwich and then tell me that...

I love cauliflower cheese with a big fillet steak, Asparagus & tenderstem broccoli.

Had a cauliflower cheese meal the other which the Chef had added a lot of mint.
Usually love Cauliflower cheese bur was not so keen on that version.

Listen. Cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing.... It's all welcome on my plate with any meat.

It flippin' does. Yorkshire pudding however, only ever with beef

I'm glad you've run and hidden @RunBackwards, it's the best thing for you!

Yorkshire pudding goes with EVERY roast!

I'm glad you've run and hidden *@RunBackwards*, it's the best thing for you!

Yorkshire pudding goes with EVERY roast!

And very nicely with JAM

Hmmm I'm not so sure @DeciduousPerennial 😱

Yorkshire pudding as a pudding, with jam or syrup is most acceptable.

A Yorkshire is just a pancake in oven form.

Trust me, you’ll thank me for this revelation.
