Agreed, It’s so bland on its own. That’s why it’s a great substitute for rice or chicken or whatever, because you only taste what you add to it. People don’t like cauliflower, they like batter, sauce, seasonings, etc

I’ll say it, cauliflower is the worst brassica. Brussels sprouts are fantastic with just a little oil and parm, but I’ve never had a good cauliflower.

Exactly. Sometimes you don’t require anything besides a texture and cauliflower runs the gamut from crunchy to creamy. Cauliflower is a versatile daily driver. I don’t want to stock my fridge with 400 ingredients and let indecision lead them all to the dumpster. Learning to mix colors is fundamental to painting. Same premise here.

If you’re not drenching it in home made cheese sauce, then you have given it a real try.

I’m pretty tolerant of most foods but Brussels sprouts are disgusting. It’s one of the dozen or so foods I dislike, and despite trying every couple years, they’ve never caught on for me. They remind me of cabbage which is another one of the dozen. Oddly, I really enjoy fermented cabbage be it sauerkraut or kimchi.

Have you ever had oven roasted cripsy edges garlicky Brussels sprouts?

With little nuggets of honeyed bacon.

I haven’t, but I’d try. I know people love them, I just haven’t ever gotten into them myself. I keep coming back to try things I haven’t previously liked, as I’d like to know what other people like about them. It’s how I’ve whittled down what I don’t like to about a dozen things.

If you haven’t tried oven-roasted brussel sprouts, you’ve probably haven’t been having them cooked right. There’s really only 2 ways to cook brussel sprouts; roasted or incorrectly.
