And it doesnt belong on a roast dinner either?

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

Cauliflower is an abomination full stop!

MarkRuffaloCrumble · 18/10/2020 22:39

Oh and longwayoff - don’t knock it til you’ve tried it! I made a thanksgiving meal last year and it was absolutely epic! In fact a renowned splendid cook in our family said it was a meal he’d remember for the rest of his life!! Give it a go. Marshmallows and all.

Wow, some very strong feelings for cauliflower cheese on here. Shame on you. You dirty, dirty people.

Tell your husband he needs to LTB!

Cauli cheese is the best and can be eaten wherever, whenever fullstop!

Spiderbaby8 · 18/10/2020 22:44

Never seen a clearer cut YABU, cauliflower cheese belongs with everything.

I’m in Scotland and as a child we used to have cauliflower cheese as an evening meal if we had been out for lunch - served with hot buttered toast.

I was completely bemused when it appeared as a side on Christmas Day at MIL’s.

Thanks a lot. 14 weeks pregnant and just getting my appetite back and now I need to go make cauliflower cheese at quarter to eleven on a Sunday night. I needed a warning!!! Fuming.

BrummyMum1 · 18/10/2020 22:47

Fine by itself. Put on a plate with a roast dinner - what the actual f*ck why would anyone do that!!???

Blondiney · 18/10/2020 22:48

Don't serve it with lasagna whatever you do!

GuiltyPleasure · 18/10/2020 22:48

Tonight I did a cauliflower, broccoli, leek bake with cheese sauce & extra grated cheese on top to brown. It was delicious with a slow cooked lamb shank & rosemary & garlic potatoes. Proper home comfort food!

Ellie56 · 18/10/2020 22:49

It so does belong on a roast dinner. YABVVVU

52andblue · 18/10/2020 22:49

Cauliflower cheese is delicious.
On its own or with bacon or ham if you eat meat.
Sometimes I make broccoli and cauli cheese.
Serve with crunchy roast potatoes.
but no CC with a Roast Dinner - no!

Yanbu op! Never had it. Sight and smell makes me sick. Dp eats it every day the dirty bastard.

Blondiney · 18/10/2020 22:54

I used to love cauliflower cheese until I read about forensic scientists not touching the stuff because it smells like corpses. Never really fancied it after that.

BreconBeBuggered · 18/10/2020 22:56

As a vegetarian I'm staying out of the roast dinner argument, but those who say cauliflower cheese is a meal in itself, do you literally mean you just eat that, in the same way you might with (vile) macaroni cheese?

clevername · 18/10/2020 22:57

I've always loved cauli cheese... It was a staple when I was a (fairly fussy) kid... I used to be with you about having it with roast, though. We never did in my house and when I heard that this was a thing I was horrified. I mean, what about the gravy?

But now, I'm totally converted. It's the best. A roast is deficient without it. And the cheese sauce and my (frankly, amazing) gravy mixed together is literal heaven.

So yeah, YABVVVVVU. (especially because I now want to eat some and I can't)

QueenOfPain · 18/10/2020 22:57

Cauliflower cheese is the only redeeming thing about cauliflower really.

Tillygetsit · 18/10/2020 22:58

You are the most unreasonable person ever on MN! Delicious.

Pixxie7 · 18/10/2020 22:59

Definitely belongs with any meal.

sapnupuas · 18/10/2020 23:00

100% agree with you.

I do not understand cauliflower cheese at all.

I also don't understand why everyone loves macaroni cheese, either.

JollyYellaHumberElla · 18/10/2020 23:00

YABU

Also what’s with the ‘no gravy’ rule? Why are you all trying to keep them separate on the plate? Far too much gravy+cheese angst on MN.

(Chips with cheese and gravy also delicious)

friendlycat · 18/10/2020 23:06

OMG somebody mentioned lasagne and cauliflower cheese. JUST NO. That’s seriously unhinged.

AdditionalCharacter · 18/10/2020 23:06

Someone better tell Toby Carvery then.

Bloody love the stuff, broccoli cheese is even nicer though.
