“ Do we need to call cauliflower rice,” asked rice farmer Matthew Sligar. “Riced cauliflower– I mean, why even call it riced cauliflower? Could call it– bits of cauliflower, or cauliflower crumbles. Secondly, when did riced become a verb?”

I guess this guy doesn't cook much? Riced has been a verb for a long time. You rice foods with a ricer. The term can be found in many cookbooks.

make sure no one uses the word “rice” unless they have a government license to do so.
= = =

But how the Black Man goin’ to rice up with no license?

I often make a substitute for mashed potatoes with cauliflower. Hard to tell the difference.

Only if you have absolutely no taste buds left.

Mashed turnips can be very nice, despite not sounding so nice. Mash with a little sour cream, a little horseradish and a little sea salt. Serve with dairy butter melted over them.

Wonder how long they had been saving that one up.

Turnips are not cauliflower. Turnips are edible ate many of them raw right out of the ground, of course food was a little more rare then, where I lived. I can eat cauliflower or broccoli if they are smothered in cheese, otherwise I don't care how healthy they claim it is, feed it to the chickens.

When I was a kid meals were very predictable, beans and potatoes with cornbread or hot rolls and occasionally corn that was so tough cows couldn't eat it.

Well, no they aren't. Didn't claim they were.

Brown rice isn’t rice either but I guess it suits the rice growers so THAT’S ok.

Fine by me. The rice farmers in Texas steal our water. Ok, they lobby big time and pay the legislature to take our water putting many businesses up stream out of business and draining city water supplies dry.

Sadly, our only grocery in town (HEB) doesn’t sell cauliflower. Unbelievable.

Yes, cost of cauliflower is much more than potatoes. However, have you considered some people can’t take the carbs in potatoes as it skyrockets their blood sugar.

Cauliflower can also substitute for a bread crust in things like pizza. Cauliflower is very versatile in low carb diets.

Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

A teacher neighbor insisted her kids have some sort of cole vegetable every day. I told her to try mashed cauliflower. She totally freaked saying she’d never feed her kids a low car dish. Uh... ok... as if mashing a vegetable somehow changes it from serving it chopped.

We eat cauliflower rice a lot when we’re on keto like now. There is no “confusion” about it vs regular rice. It cost 3-4x as much as rice at the moment, so you only buy if you really want it.

Just call it “riced cauliflower.” Problem solved.
