Our daughters particularly love cauliflower cheese, bring on the emmental. Cranberries, brochen, roast beef, potatoes, veg, cauliflower cheese, caprese, and chocolate torte. -- the Christmas menu for one daughter and her big family (finally decided). No gravy, no bread sauce - thank goodness, less fattening calories.

When I was a child we used to have cauliflower cheese as a main meal with vinegar, pepper and sometimes bread and butter.

I make it a lot and as someone else said we usually have quality sausages with it.

I often make a Romanesque cheese too. That’s the lime green coloured veg that looks like a beautiful prehistoric plant. 👍

Did you know that Romanesco broccoli is in fact a cultivar of the cauliflower, not broccoli?
It is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea, which also includes regular broccoli and cauliflower.

Mum's brochen recipe has changed for family size, over years.

This is a great internet version - as if one were skiing the alps!

It seems my family spell bread improperly!

Rolls -Brötchen?

Brot = bread
Brötchen = “little” bread

Cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, petit pois... divine with any roast and accompaniments. Veggie daughter gives me the extra impetus to make it, but it's one of my favourite bits too.

Why not? If that is what you fancy, or fresh fruit salad, dumplings, or blancmange.

Ir doesnt really matter what you eat with what as long as you enjoy it. Certainly do not be constrained by other peoples strictures or opinions.

Golly even on this inoffensive thread rude remarks made by a rude individual.

We love cauliflower cheese with any roast. The trick is just to coat the cauliflower is the sauce not to overwhelm it. Xx

So do we, kittylester.

I can't belive this thread is still here!!

I assume Christmas lunch is as any other meal. If family will be round lots of sides should be prepared - everyone will then have a chance at decent food they may want to eat (no matter if gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc) avoiding the items they abhor and the cooks may fancy for whatever reasons.

My son in law always serves this, together with loads of vegetables so the vegetarians have plenty of choices. Most vegetarian or vegan substitutes for meat are stodgy carbohydrates.
