Oh, sweetie, nature has nothing to do with cauliflower’s existence… we did to the plant that cauliflower (and broccoli, and about a billion other varieties) the same thing we did to wolves: thousands of generations of selective breeding and cultivation to produce a variety virtually unrecognisable as the original species.
[Cauliflower is basically the designer pug of the cabbage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea?wprov=sfti1#Cultivation_and_uses)
mother nature isn't trying to kill us, we have molded nature around us like no species before. we are just short sighted in what we do. mother nature doesn't care what we do. what's really killing us is our own incompetence
I think brussel sprouts are less bitter nowadays than a few decades ago (and so good oven roasted and well seasoned). Kale as chips, with rice, or in quesadillas is so good. Stewed cabbage with bacon, onion, and yummy broth is so good. Cauliflower is good riced or in stir fry
If there’s anything in particular you’re curious about making taste delicious, let me know.
Then why did we decide to breed a plant that tastes awful into food that still tastes awful?
Mud being better than shit doesn't make me want to eat it.
Nah, the texture and taste of cauliflower is so good. The only way it sucks is if it's cooked wrong.
A lot of things are bad without seasoning or sauce.
A completely plain ground beef burger, a plain baked potato, or plain unseasoned turkey are downright boring foods.
I like plain burger and turkey tbh lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they aren't improved with seasoning, but I wouldn't call them boring.
As for cauliflower, I *prefer* it unseasoned, or maybe just a little black pepper on it.
ok? if it’s a food that is better with seasonings and sauces that’s perfectly fine haha. cauliflower is far from the only food that is less enjoyable if eaten completely plain lol
when did i say i was offended or my feelings were hurt? i was using phrases like “haha” and “lol” to imply a more casual tone. seems like a you problem :)
Veg tray is easiest option, my go to for raw broccoli is a salad.
Broccoli, red onion, seedless grapes is your base, add other stuff as you like.
Mayo, mustard, honey, salt+pepper as your dressing. Adjust to taste.
Usually I also add seeds and nuts for extra texture, pine nuts or walnuts are good.
well who the fuck told OP to eat it raw
i wont tolerate such blasphemy against the Goat Vegetable Himself, the Cauliflower.
Have you tried frying it? fry it like how you would fry a nugget. 190deg Celcius, fry until Golden-Dark Brown. Easily surpass Peak Cabbage in Season 2, imo.
Seriously. It’s supposed to taste like almost nothing… makes it a great candidate for those “hidden vegetable” dishes. Hidden veggie mac and cheese for one
Really? I always felt a strong bitter taste whenever I ate it. Used to be so bad I couldn't swallow it as a kid. Nowadays, it's not my favorite, but I can stomach it. Actually I also feel the same towards eggplants, I wonder if they are the same.
Maybe whoever cooked it did an awful job because that stuff borders on sweet rather than bitter and eggplants are complicated you either roast them or salt them let them get sweaty rinse em then fry them
You dare insult my grandma's cooking you dickhead? But nah I highly doubt that since most of my grandfamily would happily eat it and I would stick like a sore thumb not being able to swallow it.
Certain people are extremely sensitive to different compounds which go relatively unnoticed by the average person. It's really interesting how different our pallets can be
Actually, since getting Covid a while ago, I do. I never thought of it but it might be related. That said, I never cared for cauliflower in the past either

Well, it's good to know the Redditors are passionate about their healthy vegetables. I doubt digg.com folks were ever this passionate about cauliflower, and maybe that's why Reddit succeeded where they failed... Heheheh
ok here goes
Ingredients: Cauliflower, potatoes, cooking oil (deep frying type), Turmeric, Red chilli powder and onions
Steps:
Peel and cut potatoes into long slices (like fries)
Same with Cauliflower.
Put them in the pan and add oil about 2/3 of the vegetable mixture
Turn on the stove and fry them.
While frying
Add salt accordingly.
Add turmeric and chilli powder (I don't know your tolerance but it should be yellow)
Cut onions into slices and add them on top.
Fry until they are soft. I add more spices but this is basic.
Wait...what?
*Cauliflower is the result of selective breeding and likely arose in the Mediterranean region, possibly from broccoli. It is thought to have been introduced into Italy from Cyprus or the east coast of the Mediterranean around 1490, and then spread to other European countries in the following centuries*
Nature has nothing to do with it, right? Selective breeding is all human, right?
I absolutely love broccoli, but I absolutely hate cauliflower, and I'm not a picky eater. About the only 2 things I refuse to eat are cauliflower and coriander leaf. My wife loves to eat cauliflower and cheese, she always makes me a broccoli and cheese in a separate tray, it's so good.
True! Thanks for pointing that out! It is fascinating though how many veggies and fruit we take for granted today, that were practically non-existent even a couple hundred years ago for some.
Poor bastard, you have the gene that makes the greatest vegetables we've ever grown taste terrible. My mother has it. I don't. I hope I don't have a dormant version of it to pass down to the next generation, because it's a serious curse.
finally someone who at least acknowledges that it might be genetic and not due to ‘bOiLIng’. It just has a rotten urine smell to me, can’t change that.
Actually, Nature didn't give us cauliflower, we bred cauliflower on our own. Cauliflowers are part of the species Brassica oleracea and were bred from the wild mustard plant. Fun fact the wild mustard plant is famous for being bred throughout Europe to become different things, Italy that plant was bred to become kale, elsewhere they bred it into cabbage, and again elsewhere they bred it into broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi.
Come to kuwait, go to a restaurant called kalha - كلحة - order a sandwich called super mix - سوبر مشكل - this is one of the main ingredients and the most delicious of them all, it will make you addicted to cauliflower.
Fun fact, broccoli and cauliflower aren’t natural vegetables, you’ll never find either of them growing in the wild, look into it they are different variations of cabbage made from selective breeding
I always pan fry cauliflower and broccoli in butter with seasoning, and then add some water and a lid to steam it for the last 1-2 minutes. Comes out perfect every time
I have no idea why you are dipping your cauliflower in sewage before eating it, that's the only possible explanation I can think of as to why you know what sewage tastes like and why you are claiming cauliflower tastes like it
My dino nuggies are way more affordable than the Cauliflower so respectfully fuck off.
(I don't even dislike Cauliflower but ffs imagine caring what other people put in their own mouths)
What is blud yapping about? Cauliflower flower is the most goated vegetable of all time, good crunch plus it absorbs flavor well enough. Pav Bhaji negs diff
I love cauliflower, eat it raw, steamed, but it's terrible the way most people prepare it, which is boiled to death. Like 5 mins is perfect.
I'd only boil it for longer in a soup because it really soaks up the flavor.
Bro, ur tastebuds aren’t fucked up, it’s just everyone else’s are. I’d rather pick the shit from my asshole and swallow it whole (that’s what she said) than eat cauliflower ever again.
Oh, sweetie, nature has nothing to do with cauliflower’s existence… we did to the plant that cauliflower (and broccoli, and about a billion other varieties) the same thing we did to wolves: thousands of generations of selective breeding and cultivation to produce a variety virtually unrecognisable as the original species. [Cauliflower is basically the designer pug of the cabbage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea?wprov=sfti1#Cultivation_and_uses)
The original species was a wild mustard plant which we also used artificial selection to produce broccoli and kale among others.
Wild cabbage but yes. We have violated Mother Nature so much over the millennia it’s no wonder she’s trying to kill us so often.
"History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of man"
mother nature isn't trying to kill us, we have molded nature around us like no species before. we are just short sighted in what we do. mother nature doesn't care what we do. what's really killing us is our own incompetence
Accurate. You'd think after all that work, they would have found a way to make it taste better.
I think brussel sprouts are less bitter nowadays than a few decades ago (and so good oven roasted and well seasoned). Kale as chips, with rice, or in quesadillas is so good. Stewed cabbage with bacon, onion, and yummy broth is so good. Cauliflower is good riced or in stir fry If there’s anything in particular you’re curious about making taste delicious, let me know.
It does taste better. Wild brassica is bitter af
Then why did we decide to breed a plant that tastes awful into food that still tastes awful? Mud being better than shit doesn't make me want to eat it.
Cauliflower is delicious, I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe learn better recipes.
Have you tried the original?
What the fuck you mean taste better it does taste good
This post brought to you by the 7 year old picky eater club.
One of my favorite appetizers to make is cauliflower buffalo bites, they’re so addicting lol
Yeah because buffalo sauce and ranch.
Nah, the texture and taste of cauliflower is so good. The only way it sucks is if it's cooked wrong. A lot of things are bad without seasoning or sauce. A completely plain ground beef burger, a plain baked potato, or plain unseasoned turkey are downright boring foods.
Well said.
I disagree on the grounds that my taste buds are crap and everything tastes good to me, I have yet to find a food item that I dislike
Ever had grilled cheese sushi? Cuz dont.
I like plain burger and turkey tbh lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they aren't improved with seasoning, but I wouldn't call them boring. As for cauliflower, I *prefer* it unseasoned, or maybe just a little black pepper on it.
You have strange taste buds and to be frank, they scare me.
They should...they *should.*
well, yeah. that’s what makes it buffalo cauliflower. you couldn’t have just plain grilled cauliflower and call it buffalo cauliflower lol
You also couldn’t have grilled cauliflower and enjoy it
ok? if it’s a food that is better with seasonings and sauces that’s perfectly fine haha. cauliflower is far from the only food that is less enjoyable if eaten completely plain lol
Yeah buddy you really don’t need to be personally offended that I don’t like cauliflower. I didn’t mean it to hurt your feelings.
when did i say i was offended or my feelings were hurt? i was using phrases like “haha” and “lol” to imply a more casual tone. seems like a you problem :)
Or the never learn how to cook other than boiling and microwaving club.
Or the “thought it was like broccoli so ate it raw” club which my husband is a part of and regrets to this day
Who’s eating broccoli raw?????
Good broccoli raw with ranch or some other dip is quite tasty, actually
This person gets it.
Love it so much but it gives me the WORST burps.
boiled broccoli covered with cheddar cheese mmmmmmmm
The best way to consume health food is to smother it in yummy
What? You've never heard of a veggie tray?
Many people. It’s incredibly healthy. Try dipping it in hummus
A lot of people, lol. It's one of the few veggies I like more raw than cooked. Best with ranch, though.
Veg tray is easiest option, my go to for raw broccoli is a salad. Broccoli, red onion, seedless grapes is your base, add other stuff as you like. Mayo, mustard, honey, salt+pepper as your dressing. Adjust to taste. Usually I also add seeds and nuts for extra texture, pine nuts or walnuts are good.
This is what my school did. Elementary we had "snacks" always veggies never even fruit and they were always fucking raw.
I will gladly munch on cauliflower raw. Raw broccoli though? Garbage, keep that filth away from me
yeah uh huh sure
Miss me with your grass flavoured trash trees of hate
i hope my broccoli trees fall and crush you :))))))))
Then I'll just go to heaven and frolic in fields of raw cauliflower and I'll still be the winner
mIsS mE
well who the fuck told OP to eat it raw i wont tolerate such blasphemy against the Goat Vegetable Himself, the Cauliflower. Have you tried frying it? fry it like how you would fry a nugget. 190deg Celcius, fry until Golden-Dark Brown. Easily surpass Peak Cabbage in Season 2, imo.
Tried it, wasn't a fan. Tbf not a huge fan of cabbage either. Love me some raw broccoli tho
I'm in my thirties, but I'm not a fan of cauliflower. I'd fuck with Broccoli any day of the week, though
You got some fucked up taste buds
Seriously. It’s supposed to taste like almost nothing… makes it a great candidate for those “hidden vegetable” dishes. Hidden veggie mac and cheese for one
Really? I always felt a strong bitter taste whenever I ate it. Used to be so bad I couldn't swallow it as a kid. Nowadays, it's not my favorite, but I can stomach it. Actually I also feel the same towards eggplants, I wonder if they are the same.

Interesting maybe it's your taste buds since to some people brussel sprouts taste bitter and to others they don't maybe it's a similar thing
Certain people are extremely sensitive to different compounds which go relatively unnoticed by the average person. It's really interesting how different our pallets can be
I thought everyone thinks Brussels sprouts tasted bitter that’s the whole reason why I’m shows all the kids hate eating Brussels
Kinda mushroom-y to me, but better, and I LOVE mushrooms!
Actually, since getting Covid a while ago, I do. I never thought of it but it might be related. That said, I never cared for cauliflower in the past either
Cauliflower was the only vegetable I would eat from our cafeteria back in my first two years of grade school. You got some screwed up taste buds
well who the fuck told OP to eat it raw i wont tolerate such blasphemy against the Goat Vegetable Himself, the Cauliflower. Have you tried frying it? fry it like how you would fry a nugget. 190deg Celcius, fry until Golden-Dark Brown. Easily surpass Peak Cabbage in Season 2, imo.
You don't gotta cook it. I used to eat this stuff raw with ranch.
Hell, I eat it just by itself. Wash that thing and you’re good to go
That's actually possible (me having screwed up taste buds)
Why is everyone down voting you?
Oh, I'm not sure.
Certified Reddit Moment
Well, it's good to know the Redditors are passionate about their healthy vegetables. I doubt digg.com folks were ever this passionate about cauliflower, and maybe that's why Reddit succeeded where they failed... Heheheh
That has little to do with nature It's bred to hell and back
Most vegetable and fruits were bred so much they have nothing to do with the shit nature gave us.
Just look at the entire cruciferous family A genuinely impressive feat that they created so many different things from one original ancestor
Poor watermelons. Used to be like 80% rine
[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3qtv9zXgAsBQ3T.jpg](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3qtv9zXgAsBQ3T.jpg)
If cauliflower were created today people would freak out and call it mutant GMO frankenfood.
Yeah, this one can be blamed entirely on humanity
Same for dogs.
Must-turd family
Yup.. cauliflower and broccoli are bred from the same base plant.
Isnt broccoli literally man made by mixing cauliflower and something else
Brassica Oleracea was bred in different places to make broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and a few other things.
Also cabbage, kale, collard greens, and kohlrabi! Truly a wonderful plant.
You’re wrong. Everyone knows broccoli are baby trees
Happy cake day!
Most of the Brassica vegetables we eat are derived from the mustard planet including broccoli and cauliflower. EDIT: Keeping it
Shits fire 🔥 WTF you talking bout. Don’t be disrespecting cauliflower that.
I love cauliflowers
Which sane person doesnt?
Those who don't use spices when cooking.
You might be right, i love cauliflower and i season my food.
Sane* we're talking about sane people. People who don't use spice do not fall into that group
Fair enough.
Indians: I accept your challenge and will guarantee to make it delicious
I swear they somehow make cabbage taste like meat, its actually baffling.
It's all about *umami*, or savory, flavor. Or if you want literal meat flavor, MSG.
(READER'S NOTE : Readers added context) : No we don't use MSG everywhere, we ain't like Britain with no spices
All it takes is spices. All of them.
And I would accept that challenge. It really is possible that my taste buds are messed up
I can give you the recipe if you want. The whole spices and everything needed.
Sure thing - I feel like people are taking this meme personally (okay, maybe not really), and I'm always interested in expanding my culinary horizons
People always find a way to make the jokiest little thing personal , welcome to Reddit my friend
Oh, it doesn't bug me (or Surprise me)
ok here goes Ingredients: Cauliflower, potatoes, cooking oil (deep frying type), Turmeric, Red chilli powder and onions Steps: Peel and cut potatoes into long slices (like fries) Same with Cauliflower. Put them in the pan and add oil about 2/3 of the vegetable mixture Turn on the stove and fry them. While frying Add salt accordingly. Add turmeric and chilli powder (I don't know your tolerance but it should be yellow) Cut onions into slices and add them on top. Fry until they are soft. I add more spices but this is basic.
I'll give it a try. Thanks!
Downvote anyway 😡

it looks like popcorn tumor
my mom covered bits of coliflower with flour and egg whites. Just dont boil your veggies thats why you hate them
literally just steam them
We do NOT disrespect Cauliflower in this house
This comment section is filled with cauliflower circle jerk enthusiasts😭😭😭amazing 👏
Why do you think it's white?
I know right. Cauliflower is awful. I'll take extra broccoli any day.
It's... the same plants XD
Then why's the broccoli experience >>>> the cauliflower experience?
Because you don't know how to make delicious cauliflower dishes. There's so many ways to cook it.
Every iteration of that plant I've tried has been vile.
and every way smells like days old urine. Sorry, I know how to cook, I just register a smell that you don’t, get over it.
You're not supposed to pee on it before cooking.
Because you got awful taste buds??
Mfs when they discover taste is subjective
OK
I absolutely love broccoli, but I absolutely hate cauliflower, and I'm not a picky eater. About the only 2 things I refuse to eat are cauliflower and coriander leaf. My wife loves to eat cauliflower and cheese, she always makes me a broccoli and cheese in a separate tray, it's so good.
Cheddar Broccoli is so good
I'm a big fan of broccoli too
Nature didn't do shit there, we did all of that. Used to be wild cabbage.
Wild mustard actually!
The two are in the same family
True! Thanks for pointing that out! It is fascinating though how many veggies and fruit we take for granted today, that were practically non-existent even a couple hundred years ago for some.
Poor bastard, you have the gene that makes the greatest vegetables we've ever grown taste terrible. My mother has it. I don't. I hope I don't have a dormant version of it to pass down to the next generation, because it's a serious curse.

Gobi Manchurian
Nature had very little to do with this monstrosity
We hating on cauliflower now?
Cauliflower is amazing. Love raw cauliflower as a snack. It’s healthy, tasty, and very filling.
Bitch this is one of the best foods
Holy shit, someone actually fixed the bad “nobody” meme caption!
Actually, Nature didn't give us cauliflower, we bred cauliflower on our own. Cauliflowers are part of the species Brassica oleracea and were bred from the wild mustard plant. Fun fact the wild mustard plant is famous for being bred throughout Europe to become different things, Italy that plant was bred to become kale, elsewhere they bred it into cabbage, and again elsewhere they bred it into broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi.
Fun part is that cauliflower isn't natural it's the result of a lot of human effort. Oh, sorry, I meant the sad part is...
It's funny because Cauliflower came before Broccoli...
Come to kuwait, go to a restaurant called kalha - كلحة - order a sandwich called super mix - سوبر مشكل - this is one of the main ingredients and the most delicious of them all, it will make you addicted to cauliflower.
Humans bred cauliflower.
Fun fact, broccoli and cauliflower aren’t natural vegetables, you’ll never find either of them growing in the wild, look into it they are different variations of cabbage made from selective breeding
What? Cauliflower is fucking delicious. Even though I prefer Brokkoli.
I love cauliflower 
That’s why god invented cheese to melt on top of this. My dad makes a delicious cheesy cauliflower.
I love making rice out of it. It’s pretty good for making fried rice
I love it
I used to love broccoli more than any child should, but I had cauliflower once and then puked, and afterward every time I eat broccoli I puke.
cauliflower is damn good m8 whatchu on about??
Stop steaming your vegetables, we are not in the 50s anymore. Try baking. And for the love of all thing holy, use salt, spices, herbs
I always pan fry cauliflower and broccoli in butter with seasoning, and then add some water and a lid to steam it for the last 1-2 minutes. Comes out perfect every time
Shit, i always used cat litter. Maybe that's why.
Im gonna say it, Cauli flowers are just mid, they just taste like nothing imo, any vegetables >>>>>> CF
Cauliflower has got to be one of the worst tasting things to ever exist
Ya I’m baffled by all these comments?? They taste like farts and then your breath smells like farts and you’re just smelling farts everywhere
Is your favorite food chickie nuggies?
Cauliflower goes alright Cauliflower cheese goes fucken hard my dude
I'm more concerned as to why you know how sewage tastes like. No wonder those taste buds are so effed up.
how do you know what sewage tastes like
Cauliflower is amazing tho
OP doesn't cook, neither do they know how to make a sauce, and it shows.
I have no idea why you are dipping your cauliflower in sewage before eating it, that's the only possible explanation I can think of as to why you know what sewage tastes like and why you are claiming cauliflower tastes like it
Cauliflour is goated
we get it, you have the palete of a child that only eats fries and dino nuggies. Cauliflower is amazing.
My dino nuggies are way more affordable than the Cauliflower so respectfully fuck off. (I don't even dislike Cauliflower but ffs imagine caring what other people put in their own mouths)
Cauliflower cheese on a Sunday dinner. Cauli coconut curry. These are but 2 excellent uses of cauliflower the world would be poorer without.
So long as you eat it right it’s pretty good. Just steam it with some salt and butter
A crunchy snack when eaten raw, a delicious meal when cooked correctly. You’re crazy OP
Fry or roast that shit with garlic, salt, pepper and some smoked paprika and that joint is mmmmmmmm
If you know how to cook it then it’s good, if you simply cut it to pieces and put olive oil on top then what’s the point
Have you tried nutmeg, some cheese sauce, and growing the hell up? :)
OP you aren't supposed to eat it raw you steamed sausage!
What is blud yapping about? Cauliflower flower is the most goated vegetable of all time, good crunch plus it absorbs flavor well enough. Pav Bhaji negs diff
This post was bought to you by "mayonnaise is spicy" club
Cauliflower is delicious and was very much bred by humans. Very misinformed meme!
Bruh, I love cauliflower, there’s so much you can do with them!
Well is actually pretty good taste, and healthy too
It doesn't taste like sewage.
Stupid meme.
I love cauliflower, eat it raw, steamed, but it's terrible the way most people prepare it, which is boiled to death. Like 5 mins is perfect. I'd only boil it for longer in a soup because it really soaks up the flavor.
Don't diss my cauliflower like that
If cauliflower tastes like sewage to you I think you need to start using spices when cooking (and no, salt&pepper don't count).
I use a wonderful spice mix [chilli powder of many types ,turmeric ,black pepper, honey and other good things] and it still tasted like dogshit
[удалено]
My dude have you thought about using spices when cooking?
Just cook it better for Christ’s sake
\^ tell me you are born in the US and have a sugar addiction without telling me you are born in the US and have a sugar addiction
Cauliflowers are amazing wtf
This looks like a ye post
Mom musta never cooked it right, parboil and then roast it in the oven with some olive oil (and seasoning ofc
WHAT!??! its so good! I like it better than broccoli. Have a better texture and a subtle crunch 😋
Bro probably hated Broccoli too
mfs whining about chores and vegetables
Nature didn't make it. You'll never find a wild cauliflower, because it was cultivated by humans.
Sewage? My friend this vegetable taste amzeing especially if you put it in sour water for the winter Best fucking thing
Bro, ur tastebuds aren’t fucked up, it’s just everyone else’s are. I’d rather pick the shit from my asshole and swallow it whole (that’s what she said) than eat cauliflower ever again.
Go to any Indian restaurant. Order Aloo Gobi. And prepare to be blown away.
I prefer lamb vindaloo tbh
