Cauilflower "steaks"

[UserNameTaken]

Found this on the AP site of all places. Looks tasty. Maybe add sun dried tomatoes and mixed shredded cheese? I wonder how it would be with broccoli?

This is why I hate veganism. There is beef steak, pork steak and the wooden stake used to stab Dracula. They need to call that seasoned cauliflower side-dish or just grilled cauliflower. It is not a main anything and it is definitely NOT a steak. Carry on.

I was raised by grandparents who raised their own beef, pork and poultry. I could never be a vegan. I love meat. I love a good pot roast, nicely browned and cooked with potatoes and carrots. And then a deep brown gravy made from the fond in the pan. Comfort food, 100%.

But I do like cauliflower, just pretending it is the main thing. It isn't. It is a side.

Wow! I cannot believe how some buttons were pushed by a simple post regarding a recipe. It cracks me up how a simple post about someone liking a recipe turns out to be a pro-meat, anti-vegetable soap box opera my some. Give it a rest people. No one is making you eat anything you don't want to eat. No one is promoting a consumption lifestyle. Give it a rest people. Sheeesh!

Said the man whose buttons got pushed by other people's opinions.

Show me where the meat hurt you.

Throw on some slices if NY Strip, and I'd like it!

It actually looks kind of good to me.

I think what people are reacting to is the headline of the article promoting the recipe:

Nutty Parmesan, briny capers and pickled peppers turn cauliflower steaks into a satisfying main

These are certainly not "steaks". It's rather silly to call them that. Similar to "plant-based meat". What an absurd thing to call that concoction. I think this is what people are making fun of. Calling cauliflower a vegetable - like it is - would be more accurate and not have people laughing at someone calling a vegetable a "steak", or a plant "meat". The people using wording like this are just setting themselves up to be laughed at.

I eat cauliflower. Nothing wrong with it. Not my favorite though - it's kind of tasteless. I've held off on the "plant-based meats" however. That just sounds too disgusting to even try. Akin to "calf brains". I'm not trying those either. Are people calling calf brains "vegetables" or "fruits" now? I guess some call organ offal "sweetbread" when it's not really a grain, so who knows? Others are welcome to eat all that stuff they want to, and I will do nothing to stop them.

With foods, it's sometimes hard to decide it you should laugh or retch when someone calls it a silly name implying it is something that it is not.

Fractals are interesting but not something I would eat.

My DW cuts the cauliflower into small bite size Florets & puts cheese on them, but it is the same thing.
Thanks.

That looks like a brain that would be fond of ice cream

Yum!! I love cauliflower with cheese. Sometimes I just eat it with butter.

That looks good. I just tried vegan butter by Miyoki and it is delicious on sourdough bread!

Did you get the recipe online?

NO CAULIFLOWER!!

 

[Haertig]

I think cauliflower is good for extending the volume and nutrients of a dish, but not so much for adding flavor. I put it in the same category as tofu or dragonfruit. I don't know many people who like to eat any of these things stand-alone. They're not sweet, not sour, not bitter, not tart, not bad, not good - they're just kind of there, occupying space without taste.

Cauliflower is not all it's cracked up to be!! Broccoli yes, cauliflower NO!

 

[Bacpacker]

I'll take caluiflower all day

It's a good vehicle for getting Ranch Dressing into your mouth, without looking uncouth by scooping it up with your fingers.

Also good with a creamy horseradish sauce

I'll take cauliflower over broccoli.
