They are too expensive now fad diet losers are using it as a low carb gluten free everything replacement. I can understand to an extent that they are expensive because they have to be in very good condition to look palatable. I can imagine there is an awful lot of waste on the way to the supermarket with partially rotten, muddy, smashed and damaged heads which personally I wouldn't mind as one medium cauliflower in season costs about the same as 12 courgettes or 3 bell peppers or 5lb of onions or 6lb of carrots or a large pumpkin or 8 beetroots or 12lb of potatoes or three heads of broccoli or 2 butternut squash.

Cauliflower pakora is delicious. Lightly boiled and salted is good too. Cauliflower soup is nice, but can be a delicate flavour and requires finesse. Cauliflower cheese is maybe my least favourite way of serving it.

>> No.9695670

>>9695664
They don't tend to sell them by the lb here they tend to be sized. While the sizes will be graded by weight, they don't really specify the weight. I remember back in the day when they were just considered an everyday vegetable and a medium cauliflower was about the same price as a head of broccoli, 39p? These days a medium cauliflower costs 3-4 times that so £1.20? Inflation is a factor, but a head of broccoli is still around 39p.

>> No.9695671

>>9695664
What the fuck, it varies between 59 cents up to $2 a pound here. Its really not expensive, but the big heads are pretty heavy, and a single brain can cost five bucks.
So its not cheap, but not so much you cant afford it. These fuckers grow so fast there is no good reason why production cant be boosted. Its not like a product that requires a tree to grow first, or some super rare special climate. Shit grows anywhere.

>> No.9695679

>>9695671
Yeah a big head of cauliflower can weigh quite a lot, the sort of one that you'd have to hold in two hands would cost £2-3 so compared to $5 this is actually quite cheap, but you have to compare it to the cost of other things.

A medium chicken costs £3. A tin of chickpeas costs 25p. A couple of lb of bacon costs £3. You'd get a gallon and a half of milk for £3. The cheapest bread is about 39p, but you can get a loaf of malted seeded wholegrain fancy bread for 79p. Comparatively it is quite an expensive vegetable.

Though when in season sprouts might as well be so cheap as to be free. They are currently 59p/kg and it'll only get cheaper in the run up and immediately after christmas if farmers have overproduced.

Sprouts are often mistreated by being boiled to death. Far better is to thinly slice and stir fry. They are excellent added to all sorts of dishes in this way, but one their own with some decent oil, topped with flaked almonds, few lardons and maybe a handful of cranberries they are delicious enough to make boiling them to death appear a crime against humanity.

I always hated cauliflower but I recently went to a great restaurant that served it two ways with my steak.

The first was roasted cauliflower, it was caramelised on the outside and imparted a delicious smokey flavour that actually made it taste good.

It also came with pink pickled cauliflower which was delicious too.

I have concluded that the way to make cauliflower good is to add another flavour to it, either through caramelisation/roasting or pickling.

Yes, it's amazing in two ways specifically:

Roasted cauliflower: either cut into thick slabs or break off trees, toss to coat with a mixture of coconut oil, chili powder, and salt, then roast in a preheated castiron at 400 until tender and the outside is crispy dark golden brown.

More expensive than what?

You don't replace a hamburger with kale and avocados. You replace a hamburger with beans and rice, and vegetables might just be the salsa you put on it.

Calories aren't the point of vegetables, so of course they're more expensive per-calorie. Vegetables are there to be healthy. Moreover, cabbage, carrots, celery, and onions are usually quite cheap, and those are enough to make a basic soup stock, cole slaw, or any number of poverty foods revolving around cooking stuff with cabbage and putting it in a bun.
