Planet Veggie

Years ago, before I was vegetarian, I used to eat cauliflower cheese grills. I have no idea if they were Dalepak but I used to eat them because the only meat I could afford was economy burgers and they were the vile scrapings from the abattoir floor. So I used to eat cauliflower cheese grills and put up with people asking me if I was vegetarian.

Back then, although I ate them, they weren’t all that really. The cheese was nice, but cheese always is. The breadcrumb coating was usually soft and I didn’t like cauliflower anyway, so now I’m wondering why I bothered with them at all.

Dalepak’s cauliflower cheese grills were nicer than the ones I used to eat in the 90s but there wasn’t enough filling – the grills were mainly breadcrumb. The breadcrumb was beautifully golden and crispy but I would have preferred the grills to be much thicker than they were as, if it hadn’t been for the slight cheesy taste, I wouldn’t have known there was any filling in them. Disappointing.

The mashed potato made from our homegrown potatoes was nice though.

Dalepak Cauliflower Cheese Grills are Vegetarian Society Approved and available from Iceland, Heron Foods and Jack Fulton’s and cost £1 for a pack of 4.
