Interesting enough "Cauliflower" literally translates to "flowered cabbage." The word in Engish is derived from the French chou fleuri which literally translates to "flowered cabbage." Interesting how language works, 'eh? By the way, the scientific name is Brassica oleracea, from the cabbage family obviously.
Here is a picture of Cauliflower, just to make sure we are all on the same page.

prolly just a typ0, but it's 'un chou-fleur' (one) or 'des choux-fleur' (many). so there are no i's.
(can be written without the '-' too though)

What the heck
What the heck does Cow Brain taste like?
It has always been one of those things I see when I'm shopping and when I see it I go... WTF. Same with cow tongue. I wanna know who was sitting around the BBQ and said to themselves, "this looks like good eating!"
I would apply this to haggis but I think that probably started out as a joke and then when people started eating it they decided it wasn't too bad. "Hey Mc(instert scottish name) lets shove all this stuff in a sheeps stomach, boil it and serve it for super, should be a real hoot"...hours later "hey, that wasn't too bad, kinda went good with beer."

In what universe is cauliflower unusual?
I have it about one a week, so far no problems with my digestion.
I do prefer broccoli tho'.

It is true that we Brits tend to eat some strange things (tripe, faggots, haggis, blood pudding...do I need to go on?), but being veggie, I'm safe from almost all of them.quietfanatic said:
Rye bread rocks! So much more flavour than ordinary bread (particularly if you're talking about standard white bread, which flavourless rubbish for the most part)
Won't catch me eating faggots...
Homo or otherwise.

First time out of the vault
When I was in the Philipines I ate a Balut. Basically a duck egg that had been incubated for 14 days and then boiled.
Crunchy and bloody. Yum!

What a great first post Johnny.
Well, my grandfather once ate scrambled pig's brains, still inside the pig's head (they just cut the skull cap off). It was his own fault, he couldn't read Spanish, and at a small village restaurant chose a meal at random off the menu.
SuAside, actually, that's old French, not modern French. Think closer to Latin.
As for cauliflower, what is wrong with it? I've never encountered problems from eating it, though like Big_T, I prefer broccoli.

What, he's on topic and you don't always have to make your first appearance with "Hi, my name is [pointless], my interests are [who cares] and in the remainder of this post I'll talk about something [futile]" in the say-hello-thread.
Anyway, the only thing I've eaten which was *really* gross (made me puke) was something called "Pitepalt". It's a strange swedish dish, I don't quite know what it consists of, but if you ever encounter it I suggest you stay away.
A little while ago a friend of mine tried some of my grandmothers famous kvashennaya kapusta, or salted cabbage. Not really a favorite of mine, and I think she ended up throwing up later, although that could have been the vodka.

It is actually delicious. Same thing for the brain.
Okay...
Okay, maybe I can see cow tongue and brains... I might even be able to stomach sheep stomach. But, who the hell thought of eating "mountian " Oysters?
When I heard what they were when I was younger, after crossing my legs and screaming, a strange thought popped into my head. What deranged, sadist thought to themselves,"Hmmm... I bet thems would be good eatin'". Whenever I think of them I hear the sound of dueling banjos in the far of distance.
