Cauliflower tastes white and a little bit spicy (like white cabbage, but less so) when raw, then tastes beiger the more it's cooked. One of my great-aunts used to cook cauliflower until it was more or less the texture of clotted cream. Yuk.

Ick. I don't think I'm missing out on much. Who are all these broccoli and cauliflower lovers anyway? You people are sick.

My mum does a great Delia cauliflower fried with onions and coriander. Not beige at all! Nutty, in fact.

Well, I do think of it as a sliding scale - just-cooked cauliflower is sort of cream (white, but warmer), only getting to real beige when you get near great-aunt territory. That Delia recipe sounds tasty, anyway. Fresh coriander or coriander seeds?
