My grandad used to boil them up, with the hard bits of the cabbage and other assorted goodies, and make us kids drink the resulting water. He called it "Spring medicine" and said it was good for "clearing out the innards"

I'll take his word for that!

Never eaten the cauliflower leaves myself.

Then again the tortoise would leave home if she was deprived of them!

**reports thread** ;)

I hate cauliflower intensely. lol

I normally throw them away as i love me Greens for leafage

As we had spring greens as one of our veg today l didn't use the leaves on the cauliflower but usually do.

I cook the green leaves as well Julia. I cut out the stalky bit and drop the green bits in for the last five minutes, they don't need to be overcooked. The green makes the meal look good.

Enjoy. Bernie

Awf now to get the dinner together. Roast Potatoes and Parsnip, Roast Beef, Carrots, Green Beans, and , Cauliflower and Leaves, Yorkshire Pudd. for the OH, and Horseradish for me. First roast we have had for weeks. Hope I can do justice to it.

I can't say I've ever really thought about it, so I throw them away :((

Stray, I can understand that.
Stella, I do the dame as you, probably because I can't bear waste.

I chop them up and cook them with the florets..looks nice and gives added flavour..

i feed them to me bunnie xxxx

Just preparing the veggies for tonight's dinner, and wondered if anybody else ate the leaves on the cauliflower or do they just through them away and eat the curds only
Seems a 'safe' subject to discuss, I hope.
