How did the media convince us that cauliflower tastes anything like potatoes. :cow-IthinkIamgoingmad: |

I for one love mashed cauliflower, but no one ever told me it would taste like mashed potatoes. Take care, Pat |

In the old days cauliflower was always served with the ubiquitous white sauce made from flour if you were poor and cream if you had it. One couldn't see the vegetable for the white sauce. And recalling it was always overcooked so being mush. |

I love cauliflower tastes great IMO!! I often use different vegetables when I make Sheperd's Pie I have used cauliflower with carrots Never thought it tasted like potatoes, it has a distinct flavour of it's own. I love dipping it, sauteed, boiled broiled in whatever form soup etc.... Posted Image |

When I want potatoes I will have them! I'm tired of skinny young things on TV telling us what to eat. I was slim too at their age and always ate potatoes. Cauliflower is OK sometimes but no substitute for spuds. |

I like cauliflower in the many wonderful recipes that can be made as well as simply steamed. With butter. When growing up we had margarine introduced at some point, we were told it was healthier. My mother confessed years later that it was butter for the poor. To this day I prefer butter. All things in moderation. |

I got wind of it on LOW CARB FRIENDS presumably from some Atkins book originally. Yes, I agree, the resemblance to mashed potatoes was only the fact that both are white. Did anyone try that wretched and pricey low-carb purple pasta made from Jerusalem artichokes? That wasn't even a color match. Edited by Trotsky, Apr 14 2016, 04:00 AM.
