@georgetakei it depends on the prep, but I am glad people made these alternatives for people like one of my kids with celiac

Agree. I love cauliflower, so I would never try to turn it into something it isn't.

@georgetakei I hate to disagree, but I do. Cauliflower makes an excellent substitute for mashed potatoes. Steam it until it's almost but not quite fully soft. Put it in the oven at 250 for about 20 minutes to dry it out as much as possible. Puree in a food processor with a nice big chunk of cream cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Seriously, it's really good, and I've had people who claim to be repulsed by cauliflower agree with me.

@georgetakei I’d like to agree, but against all odds I have to say that cauliflower rice is actually totally fine.
The pizza-base-thing, though, not so much

@georgetakei But it's better for birds if you throw it at weddings.

@georgetakei Pedantry. Isn't cauliflower a cultivar of a very flexible species? Cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

@georgetakei You can take my cauliflower pizza from my cold, dead hands.

It also is tasty battered and glazed with buffalo sauce.

And mashed and used as the topping on shepherd’s pie.

And roasted…

We CAN agree…and it’s still GOOD!

@georgetakei You rice anything, but it is still that thing.

@georgetakei Only if we also agree that it's none of anybody's business in what form anybody else consumes their white (or yellow or purple or green) broccoli.

@georgetakei No matter what you do with it, it is always be just cauliflower. It will never be anything else.

@georgetakei Diagree. Once you get rid of the excess water, it’s neutral enough that you can do whatever you want with it.

No, I love all those things. Keep making things out of vegetables.

@georgetakei I can't agree.

Broccoli actually tastes good.

@georgetakei Cauliflower is the very finest of all vegetables, and trying to turn it into something else is plain wrong.

@georgetakei Nope! Be more creative. Imagine if people thousands of years ago had that attitude about wheat!

@georgetakei Anyone know how cauliflower got its name? And also broccoli, for that matter?

@georgetakei
Broccoli is green cauliflower!

It's very rare that I disagree with you, so please let me explain.

If you throw cauliflower far enough up into the air, it will come down < squash >.
