Are you cutting down on starch/carbs?

Have you heard of cauliflower "mashed potatoes? Now we have
cauliflower rice. Yes, it's good! Google for recipes. It's easy.

Often used in raw vegan recipes but they of course use it raw. They use it
in sushi type rolls or Nori wraps. And other dishes.

Looks like someone got up on the wrong size of the bed! And apparently you
and sf don't get out much. Cauliflower "rice" is nothing new.

Me? I'd rather use real rice and just add a lot of non carby things to it.

"Out"? I'm out a lot and I eat out a lot. Cauliflower rice is never
on any menu I've seen. I don't understand why you would say that.

Saying someone doesn't "get out much" means they're somewhat behind the
times with what's happening in the real world, meaning Cauliflower "rice"
has been around for a long time, sort of like fauxtatoes.

So, you're saying it has been a hot topic here and discussed ad
nauseam in RFC?

Also ruins perfectly good cauliflower... imagine, someone just
complained how fresh cauliflower was expensive... and here they want
to turn it into baby food, after it passed through.

No, not at all. I was just saying "what someone doesn't get out much" means.

There's no reason why I should have known about it. It's not
discussed here, I don't see it on menus and no one I know makes/talks
about it. Which has absolutely nothing to do with not getting out
much, literally or figuratively speaking. It was a stupid comment to
make.

Well, I'm going to try tonight but I'm a bit dubious about how fine I
had to chop the cauliflower.

Make "rice sized pieces". Do you have a FP with a grater or a manual
grater with medium or large holes? I think I prefer shredding because
it evokes the shape of rice. You can always pulse it in the bowl of
the FP, lots of food bloggers show that method too. AFAIC, searching
"cauliflower rice" via Google Images is the fastest way to find
instructions and lots of images of what it should look like.

I agree with you, sf. I've never seen "cauliflower rice" discussed here
nor seen it on any restaurant menu. I have seen mashed cauliflower on a
menu but not very often. Contrary to popular belief I do go out on
occasion.

Yes. The *rice* is merely finely chopped cauliflower. I think the raw
foodists started this but now I've seen recipes for cooked.

Because I heard of it years ago. It's not new. I guess that you don't eat
at raw vegan places?

I can't see why there would be much discussion here. Perhaps on a low carb
place. And certainly on the raw vegan forums.

For that matter I don't usually see rice of any kind on menus unless it is
some sort of ethnic restaurant.

I doubt that cauliflower rice or fauxtatoes are anything that would appeal
to the general population.

I one heard a chef (Susan Milliken?) say that people don't go out to eat to
eat healthy stuff. They go out to eat what they want.

Tried them once. Not only was is a poor substitute for potatoes, it
was a poor substitute for cauliflower.

Mostly true. If we are going out for an eating adventure, the food is
more important than healthy aspects. OTOH, when traveling for an
extended time and eating out a lot, we do make some healthier choices.
Indulging for eating pleasure for one meal is not a big deal, but a
week of it, now so good.

I try to eat healthy food. I can't remember the last time I had a dessert
in a restaurant. But I will sometimes get French fries.

Well, you're ahead of me Jill! I've only heard about mashed
cauliflower because I stumbled across it on some blogs and I've only
recently seen it mentioned in passing here. Not discussed, only
mentioned... hey maybe it was me that brought it up!

Again, totally disagree. Anyone who thinks it should taste "just
like" is an idiot, but it still tastes great.

Ahh so the 'rice' isn't cooked?

Okay then. I can name several here but won't bother. Pretty sure that you
have them there.

When I first saw if it, it was raw. But I recently saw a recipe in which it
was cooked. Was some kind of chicken but can't tell you beyond that because
it wasn't somethng I'd make.

I can tell you that when you bite into what you think is rice and it isn't,
it's a real shock. Daughter and I did this once. Got some salad from a
salad bar. They had what I thought was white rice and I had her dish up a
big bowl of it. Got it home and went to heat it. I thought it looked a bit
funny up close and sure didn't smell like rice! Not really sure what it
was. But probably not meant to be heated. All I remember was that it was
sweet. Daughter thought it was coconut but it didn't taste like that.

Was the stuff in the salad bar cooked? (or is that what you are referring
to?)

Never been a big fan or cauliflower but after reading all this, I can
picture trying this: Mince up the cauliflower (to rice state), then cook it
in a tiny bit of homemade rich chicken stock. Homemade stock, not that
crappy canned stuff you buy at the grocery store. Once the stock
evaporates, you might have a tasty side dish of cauliflower...or go on to
use that for a faux fried rice dish.
