People are taking the piss out of the price of cauliflower steaks in London – 9 well-done reactions

We’ve been warned that prices might rocket after Brexit, which would mean people in London could end up needing a mortgage to go out for a meal, if the current prices are anything to go by. Food marketer, Jamie Klingler, shared some stark evidence of how far out of control, London’s prices already are.

£28 for two pieces of Cauliflower. That’s mental. Like properly mental. pic.twitter.com/Vzd33n4EE8

What even are cauliflower steaks and how can they possibly cost the same as Aberdeen Angus steaks?

Jamie shared a poster for these culinary delights, which didn’t answer either of our questions.

Reactions have varied between horror and complete lack of surprise. These are our favourite 9.

Maybe the cauliflower’s been watered with beer and massaged four times a day

I don’t know why I was surprised. A florist down the road charges £15 for an old jam jar with some flowers in.

I like my cauliflower served rare and dewey, I want it still green in the middle and I like to know it’s lead a good life.

I trust the cauliflowers have been hung for at least 21 days.

That's quite reasonable given that <consults menu> they start with broccoli and each floret is lovingly hand-bleached by highly skilled artisans #LondonPrices

I assume that's for cauli fillet. Do they have a cheaper option, sirloin, ribeye or my favourite, cauli rump? Do they trim the leaves and ensure they get the less leafy ones? Do they have supplement for kobe cauli?

Have a mixed grill with broccoli chops and a carrot breast. https://t.co/Y3UeBj12Ai

The price may not be the only thing putting people off.

I'd legit pay £28 to not eat a cauli head.

Perhaps Piers Morgan might like them.
