I first sampled these Cauliflower Fries in Machene Yehudah. On a trip with my children, nieces, and nephews, we came across a woman selling Cauliflower Fries from a tiny two-person storefront.   “Do you want to try a sample?”  the woman urged. I looked around at the gaggle of kids and said, “Isn’t that a bad business move? All the kids will want to sample the fries.”   She laughed and answered me, “Everyone who tastes it orders a large portion.”   Large portion it was! Pudgy little fingers began dipping and eating their cauliflower.   My sister whispered to me, “Please don’t let my kids know they are eating a vegetable.”
