Grassington's Cauliflower Cheese Grills

When I was little we always had a lot of these at our house and they were one of my favourite vegi things (I'm talking mid 90s) For a while they went out of production but a couple of years ago they started to re-appear in supermarket freezers, the recipe sounded the same; cauliflower and green beans in a cheesy sauce encased in breadcrumbs...so I was hopeful they'd taste the same as always. The description "tender cauliflower florets, mature cheddar cheese with spring onion and green beans in a light crisp crumb" sounds mouthwateringly good. Sadly they don't taste mouthwatering!

The crumb on these grills totally overpowered the taste of whatever was inside them. I could not taste the inside at all, and certainly did not detect any cauliflower. I did find some green beans. The crumb took on a texture not unlike cornmeal and when grilled, became very dry. I found the experience of eating them disappointing and, most of all unpleasant. I will throw out the ones I have left as I cannot see anyone wanting to eat these and enjoy them. I will not give them any stars at all. It serves me right for being lazy and not cooking a decent meal. When I went to enter this review it seems that I have to give it a star but If I had the choice .... nil points.

Following my tale of woe regarding Tesco Meat Free Cauliflower Cheese Grills, things got worse. I often had to start grilling a second due to the first falling to an irrecoverable mess beneath the grill grid, and so I was prompted to act: I began a search for other brands. The search was easier than I had initially expected, for this same product was available in every supermarket even if under a different guise. I was going to try Asda's version, but, with the use of mysupermarket, I found that Sainsburys was offering these at a price that, at the time, was beating the rest. I found a few other reasons to head off to the store and did so, picking up two ...  Read the complete review
