New Chick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich!

Show me on the doll where the carrot cake touched you.

It touched me on the taste buds.

Look, I get it. Some of you are from a time when they put ham and lima beans in green jello and served it as an entree. The damage is done, and perhaps it went on long enough that it's absence now feels like a loss. But they have made tremendous strides in therapy these days, and you, too, deserve to feel love. And not that false, stringy, lie that Big Carrot has been trying to fool you with that this time will really be different.

Zucchini bread, soda bread, any type of pie or cake I’m there with a good cup of coffee or a cold glass of real milk. I sure do miss the small towns where every week there was a bake sale to raise money for something or someone. Those gals knew how to cook and bake.

To be perfectly fair, I've had bad carrot cake.

Needs to be made from scratch, never a boxed mix, and it cannot be dry and crumbly.

B' Man's BBQ in Sedalia has the best carrot cake... sells out quick

Can't wait to try cauliflower chik fil a... pretty versatile veggie

I like to cook and as such, I collect recipes.

Yesterday I saw a recipe for "Buffalo Cauliflower". I decided to pass on that recipe. If I want "buffalo" anything I think I'll just stick with chicken.

As to Chick Fil A, same thing goes, I'll just stick with chicken.



Now, as far as carrot cake goes.... I enjoy a GOOD carrot cake (Safeway makes the best I've had). JohnnyEgo, I get the fact that you have issues with it as there are many foods I just won't touch. But, it's still fun to razz you about it (all in good fun brother, all in good fun).

I only have issue with foods that taste terrible for no good reason, and foods that LIE!!!!

I have a thick skin and a 'quirky' sense of humor, so I was not bothered by any of it at all, and I may have even been having just a bit of hyperbolic fun myself, though only a little bit, because carrots do actually suck. I also appreciate my new title. I would have accepted 'Rages Against the Carrot Machine' as well, but I suspect it was too long to fit.

Also, we all thought Ray was lightly coated orange because of Cheetoh dust, but now I suspect it's really the cumulative effect of years of hard carrot consumption.

MSG (monosodium glutamate) is found in all types of food, from Asian cuisine to packaged chips.
There's a popular misconception that MSG is particularly bad for health.
The FDA and other expert organizations generally regard MSG as safe in moderation. Jan 20, 2023

Back on topic - no Chic-fil-A test market in the Middle Florida Keys so I will not get the opportunity to try.

Uncle Roger would tell you MSG = Make Shit Good. The health scares from the 70s and 80s were from idiot hypochondriacs who just wanted to blame SOMEthing for their claimed symptoms. I'm not aware of ANY data or evidence indicating MSG causes bad reactions.

I'll take that carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, heavy on the cream cheese frosting, substitute red velvet for that carrot shit.

Did anyone try it yet? I'd happily try one, just to see if i like it... i don't get what all the fuss is about. If you like the taste of something, eat it. If you don't, then don't eat it. That said, in general, I don't feel like i've eaten a meal if there isn't meat involved so am unlikely to "prefer" this derivative, but i'd gladly try it.
