All I will say is CAULI MASH!!!! 🙂

(I can see megga shaking his head as I type 🙂)
 
I'm not convinced about cauliflower mash either. I always think cauliflower doesn't smell nice when cooked.
 
The cauli needs to be really fresh, preferably with the leaves still attached until you prep it. Otherwise I agree it can be a bit smelly.
 
I've just bought some sweet potatoes from Tescos - ?1.44 for a kilogram, is that good or expensive?

I think that's not bad. I bought about 7 not too bad sized sweet potatoes from Morrisons the other day and they only cost me ?1.01, probably enough there to do me about 3 meals:D

Sounds about right then. I noticed some in the Co-op the other day, but there were only 2 in the bag for ?1 and that seemed expensive to me (not sure how much the bag weighted though). This bag has 5 decent sized ones in it 🙂

I didn't weigh mine either, I just took enough that I thought for a few meals. Though the white ones in Morrisons seem a bit expensive, ?1 for 2 potatoes. 😱
 
For the record, I'm not quite sad enough to memorise the price of every D-friendly item in the shop! :D I bought some today and hadn't binned the receipt yet.

You and your cauli, normal people like chocs, flowers but the way to your heart!!!
Well just to tease you, i often have to drive to Skegness. You would love the run from Boston to Skegness as the fields are full of them, and guess what?? yep you can buy them, just picked megga fresh and only 60p each, so for you, Heaven does exsist🙂
 
that's not fair!!! I might have to have a weekend break to Skegness and do that trip!! 😉

i think really they should start doing ready prepared cauli rice at the supermarkets. It's so annoying when I make it as i only have a little blender (big enough for about 5 medium sized florets) so takes a while and the bits go everywhere! looks like Christmas!
