I love garlic eggplant with pork. It's a fast dish to make and there's no sticking if you know what you're doing. Evidently, in the past, I've made riced cauliflower. I don't remember how I did it. Must have been a bland experience.

"Just saying?" What are you... turning into a yank?

I can understand your feelings about aubergine. It can take a while to get used to the weird texture and nondescript taste. In my case, it took 40 years. Riced cauliflower is okay. I don't like preparing the stuff because it gets messy and I like to be in control of what I'm cooking at all times.

I suppose after all the years I have been here ... just sayin' <g>

I can understand your feelings about aubergine. It can take a while to get
used to the weird texture and nondescript taste. In my case, it took 40
years. Riced cauliflower is okay. I don't like preparing the stuff because

Yes, it can be messy but I do several caulis at one time and keep the
bags in the freezer. It makes life a wee bit easier)

Funny, I don't find its taste nondescript. It tastes incredibly rich
to me, even when not cooked with a ton of oil.

Same here. It's one of my favourite vegetables.
