Giant Cauliflower summer 2008 1

The one on the right was a good-sized 'normal' cauliflower. Its friend on the left, however, was an absolute GIANT!!! The leaves and stalk removed, it weighed an incredible 4lb.

The only way I like to eat cauliflowers is raw. These look nice and crunchy. - I mean the caulis not the flowers. lol
All the best, Hywel.

Greenthumb - thanks - the harvest is slightly better than last year as not quite so wet and a little more sun I think. Could have done with more sun tho. But the water helped grow things nice and big, plus it's a new patch (the old one now has the pond in it!) so the soil is nice and fresh :-)

Hywel - Ewwwwwww!!!!! Although I suppose I eat it raw in pickles....?

Oh Cauliflower is GOOD raw, with ranch dressing or any other dip and it's good cooked too with cheese sauce or in a casserole with eggs and milk. Oh I just like Cauliflower! Your's looks fab!!

Hmmm - maybe I'll try...... I love cauliflower cheese - I made a HUGE bowl of it with the first cauliflower a cut. It was YUMMY!!! I don't know what ranch dressing is....does it have something to do with cattle?!

Ranch dressing is a buttermilk and herb dressing that over the last 20-30 years has become the most popular salad dressing in the US. It was first made on the western cattle ranches and that's why it's called that. The best known brand is Hidden Valley.
