Weird, but delicious! 

Cocoa Crusted Roasted Cauliflower - TNSCC 2

Let me ask you –

Do you have weird food combinations? Do you eat something weird and nobody could understand? I am one of those people.

Let me give you an example:

I accidentally discovered that I love fried chicken and strawberry jam in a sandwich.

I love Milo on my rice when I eat scrambled egg or processed corned beef.

When I was a kid, I eat sunny side up eggs, broken down with my rice and add a little water and salt to it. Though I must admit that I still do that once in a while. 😀

And I still cannot understand the combination of banana and peanut butter.

Uhm, how about cocoa powder and cauliflower? I know, right?

I bumped into a recipe, but I just cannot stop thinking about it and the only thing I have to do to understand is to try it.

You know I am not very good in describing how the food really tastes like, but these are so good. Maybe you just have to use your imagination. 😛 These are also good with a splash of tahini sauce or maybe serve with hummus! Yum! 😉
