I used to serve Cauliflower as a vegetable for company. I would cut
off the bottom, so that that it would be level and parboil it. Then,
shortly before dinner was to be served, the cauliflower would be
brushed with butter and breadcrumbs would be sprinkled all over its
surface. Then it would go into a fairly hot oven and when the
breadcrumbs were nice and crispy/crunchy and the cauliflower looked
like a golden brown dome, it was ready to be served. I never heard
any complaints, but that may have been because my friends were always
very polite. )

Marcel actually doesn't really hate beets and even eats them as a
salad. When he praised the red cabbage, referring to it as beets, he
was just trying to be nice and also make a point that he normally does
not like beets as anything but a salad. That is why he said that he
would eat them if I cook them that way.
