Some things you just can’t recreate/replicate

Posted on February 4, 2011 by in Experimenting, Food

This should be a category for my failed attempts to capture cooked/non-vegan food.

This time, I’ll bring you raw cauliflower popcorn. I found the recipe linked to by someone on my sproutpeople yahoo groups, and based on their raves and the comments of that blog post I gave it a try. I happened to have all the ingredients, even a head of cauliflower, so I chopped, mixed and shook, and dehydrated overnight.

Meh… Nothing to write home about. My friend Karl did like it, so he ended up finishing the bag. It’s not just that it didn’t taste like popcorn, but it wasn’t even tasty as a snack. All good, I’m sure it would please others (I know it already did based on the comments it received), I just wasn’t fond of it. I like nutritional yeast, but sometimes it can be stupidly overwhelming. Also, I shouldn’t even indulge that much in raw cruciferous veggies due to my low thyroid levels, so I guess not a real loss here. I’ll just keep eating kale with kale (with a bit of seaweed to compensate) to make up for it 😉

For those of you curious enough to wanting to try it, here is the source: Cauliflower popcorn.
