This new age nonsense of using cauliflower as a substitute for "unclean" foods has to stop. I'm officially starting a boycott of albino broccoli...

    To think, I actually used to like cauliflower. And then MFP happened.

    Cauliflower is great when it's actually cauliflower. Using it as a substitute for something else is just wrong.

    But... But.. I like caulifower steamed with vinegar, and in a nice California mix veggies.

    Can we just use it for its intended purpose instead?

    nope, all innocence has been taken from us on this one.

    I'm willing to jump on this bandwagon as long as said cauliflower isn't covered in cheese and bacon. Everything is better with bacon.

    Agreed. I love raw cauliflower, it has a better texture than raw broccoli. Though I do like broccoli, too.

    I never liked cauliflower to start with, but the Internet kept telling me to try it as a substitute for this, and then for that -- no more. It smells like farts and I hate it. :D

    NEVER will I boycott cauliflower, I love it. Great for dipping, excellent curried (steam it, then sautee in olive oil, red curry, cashews, chives, cilantro and lime juice) YUM! Makes a great soup with a little bacon. Always good in a stirfry. Good and good for you. Potatoes are okay but they will never be cauliflower.

    Um, so it's fine when it's a crap substitute for mushrooms or cheese?

    What kind of "boycott" is this?

    Yes, I'm new. I joined an hour ago. It's easy to make nearly 2000 forum posts in a short period of time.

    Don't blame cauliflower, it's a victim too! Cauliflower didn't presume to be pizza crust or rice, people forced it. Cauliflower only wants to sit, unassumingly, in the crudité.

    Cauliflower wishes it could be worthy of picking off potatoes eyes. I like cauliflower, but it will never be as good as the humble potato!

    This! Curry and red onion cauliflower---yum! Cauliflower crust pizza/ "breadsticks"---NO!

    Do you have a recipe for that? Sounds good.

    Not giving up my roasted cauliflower, sorry.

    But I definitely won't be eating it mashed or as pizza crust. I'm not carb-phobic.

    Cauliflower is not rice. Rice is rice.
    That being said, I LOVE cauliflower with garlic and a tiny bit of cheese.

    I get the curry and red onion cauliflower from Whole Foods. It is delicious!
