| As a matter of fact, I picked up some Broccoflower from King
Soopers (Colorado grocery store with a weird name) last night. From
what I can tell, it was an attempt to satisfy customers who are eating
more veggies, but find broccoli too intense. It tastes more like
cauliflower to me. Not bad, but I don't think it has any advantage
over either vegetable.

| 3071.2 | Great recipe/showpiece for cauliflower | ICS::ANDERSON_M | | Thu Jun 06 1991 14:10 | 17 |
| Gee, I live in Massachusetts, wish I could get my hands on some!
I have taken a whole cauliflower (do not break it up into flowerets)
and steam it for about 15 minutes. I didn't really time it I just kept
testing it with a knife. Cook til al dente.
Take out (carefully) place on a colored round platter - drizzle olive
oil over it, sprinkle with chopped chives and grated Romano
Cheese...sprinkle with cracked black pepper. Yummy yummy - and looks
beautiful too. Quite a conversation piece.
The platter I used was a royal cobalt blue! I then had black olives
stuffed with cream cheese and placed that around the base of the
cauliflower.

| 3071.3 | nice serving idea | MAMTS3::SHAMMON | | Thu Jun 06 1991 14:20 | 3 |
| That sounds real nice. Broccoflower is a real pretty light green, and
I also have a cobalt blue serving platter. Black olives are yummy
also. Thanks.

| I tried it and really didn't like it well enough to buy it again. I
thought it ruined the taste of both vegetables myself. I still have
some in the fridge, keep looking at it but can't quite pick it up to
bother cooking it again.
I live in MA and I think I got it at Shaw's or Big D in Hudson.

| 3071.6 | I'll Try It Eventually... | MYGUY::LANDINGHAM | Mrs. Kip | Thu Jun 06 1991 15:46 | 9 |
| Big D has it in Shrewsbury and on Massasoit Road in Worcester. I
haven't bought it yet because I thought the price was too high. I am
also unhappy with the produce alot at the Big D on Mass. Road. (to the
point where I think I'll stop going there now that they started bubble
wrapping everything again.

| REGARDING .2. MANY YEARS AGO AT THANKSGIVING, MY MOTHER SAY AN ADD IN
THE FAMILY CIRCLE MAGAZINE THAT HAD A WOLE CAULIFLOWER ON A PLATER.
SHE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR ONE OF HER VEGGIES TO SERVE.
SOMEHOW, THE PHOTOGRAPHY THAT WAS USED TO TAKE THE PICTURE MADE THE
DISH LOOKS REAL GOOD, WHEN SHE BROUGHT THE PLATTER OUT AND PUT IT ON
THE TABLE IN FRONT OF US, MY SISTER AND I JUST LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND
STARTED LAUGHING. (HOPE THIS DOESN'T GROSS ANYONE OUT) IT LOOKES LIKE
A BRAIN!!!! TILL THIS DAY (SOME 16 YEARS LATER!) WE HAVE NEVER LET HER
FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| 3071.12 | TRIED IT | GRANMA::SHAMMON | | Mon Jun 10 1991 11:44 | 4 |
| I made broccoflower this weekend. I steamed it till fork-tender, then
sauteed it in olive oil and garlic and some parmesean. General
concensus was that real broccoli and real cauliflower are better. It
was fun to try. The color is a little unappetizing after it is cooked.

| 3071.13 | salad option | TYGON::WILDE | why am I not yet a dragon? | Mon Jun 10 1991 18:55 | 9 |
| break into bite-sized chunks.
steam it until crisp tender (approx. 4 - 5 mins), plunge into cold water to
stop cooking. Marinade the pieces in spicy italian dressing along with chunks
of uncooked sweet red peppers, sweet yellow peppers, half-slices of spanish
red onion, and black olives. Serve as a salad atop butter lettuce leaves.
YUMMY! I liked this better than the same dish prepared with broccoli or
cauliflower.

| 3071.14 | Loved It! | POBOX::SCHWARTZINGE | i'd rather be shopping | Wed Jun 19 1991 19:13 | 12 |
| I bought this and I love it!
All I do is take off the leaves, leave the stem ( so it will hold the
head up while steaming). Put water, pinch of salt and a little
vinegar in the pan, steam, and it was great! (I always put a little
vinegar when I do a Cauliflower, it keeps it white, so I did it to
this too! I don't know why, creature of habit, I guess!)
My husband even liked it! (And he doesn't like anything!)

| I didn't think of this till now, but I bet it is a good vegetable for
dipping. Something new to add the the veggie tray!
Did you think it tasted more like broccoli or cauliflower??
Just wondering. . .

| Cooking Light has a 1/4 pg on Broccoflower in the July/August ish.
"as much Vit. C ass an orange"
"milder and sweeter then either broccoli or cauliflower (possibly
increasing it appeal to kids)"
"A 1-cup serving of raw broccoflower contains 64 calories, virtually no
fat and 75 mg of vitamin C. It's also high in folic acid and
surprisingly high in copper. So put this interesting vegetable on your
grocery list."
Now, which note was the grocery list? :-)
