I tried it one day as an experiment.
My housemate nearly inhaled them! I pureed them (with some of the can
water) in the blender, then nuked with butter and shredded cheese.

The flavor was nearly identical to potatoes and the texture was smooth
and creamy, like whipped spuds. There was not that "sweet cauliflower"
overtone that whipped mashed cauliflower has...

I dare you to try it, just on one small can!

Cheers!
