Only because I pay a lot of attention to @Malva’s posts.

Even made my own once when Maray published the recipe (or did home kits maybe) over lockdown

Looked the place up and I’m a big fan of them having a cocktail called Seychelles Sanctuary.

I tell you what’s convenient and surprisingly decent

Frozen cauliflower cheese from sainos. Add some extra cheese on top and it is very good considering how low effort it is

Curry!

It’s nice raw in salads too.

Didn’t know the leaves were good, will have to give them a go

Tried this too but didn’t cover it properly

Love it in a curry, or roasted in the oven, or even raw as a snack (just eat some raw bits of it while I’m cooking). Excellent in a white-sauce pasta bake also, obviously.

It will never reach quite the dizzying heights of its green cousin on my veg-o-meter I’m afraid, but it’s definitely a trusted and valued companion nonetheless.

It absorbs flavours really nicely, and I really like spicey cauliflower bite type things - always seems to work out well.

What do the vegan/vegetarian members of our community think to the use of cauliflower as a meat substitute, in things like ‘buffalo cauliflower wings’, ‘cauliflower steaks’ etc…?

I’m a late convert to cauliflower, having spent my formative years eating homegrown cauliflower will all of the nutrients boiled out of it for an hour.

I like to roast it mainly and (@Funkhouser) find it to be a very good sub for chicken if I’m making things like wraps (especially buffalo or piri-piri) or noodles (five spice and honey or, probably, @anon45164313’s lemon tofu sauce). It holds sauce and flavour really well.

I also find it works really well as a sub for mince in bolognese if you shred it up into mince-size fragments. @rich-t posted a good cauli recipe involving fried peppers and steak seasoning once.

I know it isn’t a popular opinion but I am not really a cheese person so don’t fuck with cauliflower cheese.

I do generally prefer broccoli though. The Child refers to cauliflower as white broccoli.

Veg things and pretend meat will always be different spheres imho, like the difference between a veggie burger and a quorn burger it’s not very comparible.

I guess cauli’s used for this though because cut right it’s substantial for a veg, and it carries sauce really well. Cauli in curry is A*

Cauliflower rice is great with curries if you want a lower carb option to regular rices.

Cauliflower wings really annoy me because they’re absolutely delicious but calling them wings is incredibly annoying so I don’t like myself ordering them

Yeah that would put me off for life I’m afraid. Like when places name dishes after films or celebrities or whatever, I’m sure it’s delicious, but there is no way I’m ordering a ‘Life Aquatic Sandwich’ or an ‘Italian Job Wrap’ etc etc.
