Purple was delicious; they'd sold out of the orange.

I can say that the purple cauliflower is quite tasty.

I'm not so fond of white asparagus though.

does it taste different from regular asparagus?

[wretchmuffin]

It WAS delicious . . . I have yet to see white asparagus; I think that would be creepy. Like cave asparagus or something.

I rather like the purple ones (the orange ones remind me of the orange stuff they put on vomit in elementary school).
But I have to ask, why? Why are we spending time making purple cauliflower?

[wretchmuffin]

According to a poster below, the purple is naturally (that is, not engineered to be that way) purple. it is also tasty. But stains the hands.

I'm a bit of a purist. If its not white, I'm not eating it! The purple ones look too......purple.

They were so good! It was once my dream to have a dinner that was all purple and blue (eggplant, wine, grapes, burgundy beef, purple cabbage . . .). I'm over it now, but the novelty of the cauliflower attracted me. And the taste/texture was distinct enough that I'll have it again.

Purple: looks tasty
Orange: looks nast

You're the second person to say this; I wonder what it is?
