Like you I believe the only good cauliflower is covered in cheese sauce.<br /><br />I remember the first time I cooked a red pepper, in fact I think it was green. And the first meal I cooked for Husband who at the time was just a friend. Grey bolognaise with hunks of spaghetti. He still married me.<br /><br />Oh yes and pineapple on gammon, the height of good taste.<br /><br />Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-28558529538081963492016-06-22T15:13:38.249-07:002016-06-22T15:13:38.249-07:00I did try roasted cauliflower but did not like it ...I did try roasted cauliflower but did not like it that much. I usually cook mine very quickly in the microwave and accompany it with a sauce – whatever sounds good at the time. As you say food has changed so much. When I arrived in San Francisco there was only one kind of yogurt and it tasted awful – now there are so many types. Also here in Georgia restaurants place enough on one plate for 3 adult meals or the chi-chi restaurants will have a bite of meat with 2 tablespoons of veggies surrounded by syrup designs on the plate. <br />Thanks for coming to my blog and leaving a comment.

Potatoes were the filler at every main meal.<br /><br />I well remember my first efforts at cooking; although I may have watched my mum, her repertoire was limited and I ‘invented’ most of my dishes.<br /><br />When I first came to England food was dire but an awful lot has changed since. We seem to have done exactly what you said, raised dishes to culinary heights one minute and dropped them the next.<br /><br />But first came the ‘lady cooks’ with their wonderful ‘foreign muck’ recipes. Olive oil for earache? Goodness me, dear, eat it!

IMO, of course. Give it a go!<br /><br />My mother only ever used a white sauce on cauliflower, and we still prefer it to the cheesey version.<br />rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398213417325683445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-7749492117437944892016-06-21T10:17:11.099-07:002016-06-21T10:17:11.099-07:00This struck so many chords.

In those days olive oil still lurked in the bathroom cabinet. Something to do with earache.<br />My roasted cauliflower was not a success the one time I tried it. It was still raw.Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414527658216916537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-55546696749267057902016-06-20T03:07:17.300-07:002016-06-20T03:07:17.300-07:00Yes, I rather like roasted cauli though no-one els...Yes, I rather like roasted cauli though no-one else here will touch the stuff. Keep meaning to have a go at a cauliflower pizza base, too. As a vegan, my eating habits/preferences are very different to what they were. Still a big fan of mashed spuds, though.lovethosecupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083162147277460536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-78911650248546782962016-06-19T14:35:04.843-07:002016-06-19T14:35:04.843-07:00I had some roasted cauliflower for the first time ...I had some roasted cauliflower for the first time at a posh Dublin restaurant a couple of weeks ago.
