Steamed cauliflower with a warm cheese sauce is terrific.
I generally think of cauliflower and broccoli as basically the same thing; something historically served steamed with some kind of cheese sauce on top.

I have a good friend who loves broccoli but hates cauliflower. So it obviously is not that similar.

Growing up mom always did a cheese sauce for broccoli & cauliflower. I suppose that was a way to get us kids to eat it.

They are the same thing cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts are all just different varieties of the same species of plant.

Cauliflower lightly breaded, deep fried, and tossed in Buffalo Sauce. I was like WTF when I saw it on a menu once. I was surprised at how good it really was for a veggie.

Roasted radishes are also damn good!

Why do you ruin chicken salad by putting in grapes and walnuts. It is called chicken salad.

Over cooked or under flavored canned corn- This is Iowa stop it.
tofu-okay soybeans-but I dont eat it.
radishes-weird flavor
big chunks of onion in potato salad-ruins everything and I do like onions.

Brussel Sprourts, Aspargas, any melon but watermelmon. Tomatoes, Onions, Red and Green peppers. Jalapenos and the like are great.

I can't eat anything with sucralose. Tastes artificial and it's always cloyingly sweet.

Side note, sushi just means vinegared rice. Ya'll just don't like raw fish. You can get sushi with filet and asparagus if you want
All of my years, I did not know this. I always thought it was mostly referring to the raw fish part. Now all the variety of stuff at a sushi bar makes more sense. Wrap it in rice and call it sushi, the combinations are endless.

How Lutefisk is a food is a mystery to me. FFS, it's cured with:

Lye: a strongly alkaline solution, especially of potassium hydroxide, used for washing or cleansing.

And that smell.
Pickled herring is dreadful, but given the choice between being forced to eat 7 lbs. of pickled herring or one ounce of lutefisk, I will take the herring every time. My Norwegian grandmother claimed she liked it and she did eat it at the Lutheran church suppers, but I am convinced she (and every other old Lutheran lady) ate it just to stay in the good graces of the church.

Olives - black good, green bad

Eggs - they are an ingredient, not a food.

I've been obsessed with shredding brussels, adding some slivered almonds, dried cranberries, and a vinaigrette. It's like that old scrubbing bubbles commercials, but the bathtub is my colon getting scrubbed my little strands of brussel sprouts.
