Not only that, we were going to put one with roof and Builder told us that the side next to neighbours fence had to be solid and fire rated. I checked and that is in the building standards.
When you shop for cauliflower and broccoli, they usually sit side by side. Theyāre almost identical foods.
Why does one come with just the stalk, and the other comes with all the farking leaves wrapped around it that you just throw in the bin?
You donāt have to throw them away - they are edibleā¦

I have raised this in the stupid questions thread previously, but from a different angle.
Boil them, salt them, put a bit of oil and vinegar. Its great.
I despise both so itās all good

I actually prefer to eat the Broccoli stalk than the flower! Also good in a salad peeled or finely chopped.
But to answer your question re Cauliā¦I learnt many years ago working on farms in the the UK the leaves are left on for 2 reasons:
They protect against mould growth and people eat the leaves which are apparently delicious!

Well why donāt we get broccoli with the edible leaves then?
Well, you can. But they grow differently. The broccoli leaves are not as tightly wrapped around the head/flower/bud/floret as cauliflower.
More ideas - soups, wraps, stews
Itās actually pretty good to be honest. Thinly sliced in a stir fry or something. Disks also work ok.

I despise most vegetables.
Because broccoli heads donāt end up with close-wrapping leaves on them.
The inner leaves on a cauliflower are great in stir fry - or any way you cook a leafy green.

Yes. Sweet and peppery. Great raw or cooked. The best bit. Same in a cauli although a shorter bit.

That goes right above my head.
As of may 2026 this will start reducing. Lead free regulations for brass fittings are mandatory from then.

Potato Chips are vegetables . I told the oldest non vegetable eating grandson.
You could be opening a whole new can of worms here.
Potato chips ingredients are generally fairly straightforward: thinly sliced potatoes deep-fried or baked and salted.

Pringles uses a special recipe, which doesnāt actually include potatoes. Instead, theyāre made with something called ādehydrated processed potato.ā They also contain corn, rice and wheat.

Potato is not a vegetable, it is Irish. Next you will claim Guiness is beer.
As to vegans, there is an ethical issue in regard to ingredients that are by products of crops produced for feeding animals produced for human consumption ( as for some corn crops produced primarily for animal consumption, some of the crop is used to produce oil for the manufacture of edible products for humans).
Well, insects die and their bits absorbed into the vegetables on the groundā¦so suck ā ā ā ā , vegan ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā .
