Caulifower cheese with Christmas dinner?

No cauliflower cheese for Christmas in this house! In fact no cauliflower cheese at all, unless it’s Dh and me on our own. No one else likes it.

It seems a very odd thing to have alongside gravy, cranberry sauce and bread sauce.

I remember my mother being very upset when I served broccoli rather than sprouts on Christmas day. I restrained myself from pointing out that she had in the distant past, served halves of poached peaches with cranberry sauce in the ‘dip’ which was not to my grandmother’s taste.

Surely on Christmas Day you can serve and eat exactly what you want.

Love cauliflower cheese but don’t have it with Christmas dinner. There’s enough veg and trimmings with the lunch so for me no need to create any extra.

I love cauliflower cheese but as a stand alone dish, I dont fancy it with gravy but to be fair have never tried it.

I can imagine gravy plus cheese sauce making a perfect substitute for wallpaper paste.

No definitely not for me. I prefer cauliflower cheese as a main course. We actually prefer leek cheese.

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

Definitely

In my childhood home cauliflower cheese was a meal, not a side dish, but I have taken it as a side in a Toby, and it is as rather good. It probably helps that I can't bear lots of gravy, having only a discreet pool inside a Yorkshire pudding.
I could see it with Christmas Dinner, though.

My favourite bits of CD were always the bread sauce, the roast parsnips, the sprouts and the sausagemeat and oatmeal "stuffing", quotation marks because it was never stuffed in anything but baked in the oven like a meat loaf. Mmmmm.

shysal I've had both on the same plate in the past but made sure the gravy didn't touch the cauliflower cheese. I didn't make it myself but was out at a friend's house.

Yes! Not with Xmas dinner but often with pork and chicken. It’s fine with gravy as long as the cheese sauce is not runny.

We have it in our family as one granddaughter doesn’t like a lot of vegetables and this is her favourite , we all like it so it’s included. All personal taste I guess

I don't but I don't see why not, if you all like it!

no. no. bread sauce ...no further.
