Got corned beef and cabbage in SF (mumble mumble) decades ago. The corned beef was decent, the cabbage, BLECH. Cole claw is good, and I like sauerkraut and kim chee (depending on your POV, sauerkraut is German kim chee, or kim chee is Korean sauerkraut).
Growing up, I had plain, boiled, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts with a dollop of mayo on the side. UBER BLECH! Cauliflower does work in a curry, where the sauce is much the stronger flavor; smothered in cheese is the same principle.
