We're all on a health kick in January, but this is just ridiculous.
Upmarket UK grocer Marks and Spencer has been spotted selling a plastic wrapped "cauliflower steak" in its vegan section for £2 ($3.75).
As eagle-eyed shopper Rachel Clarke pointed out, that's about three times the price of a
normal cauliflower for cutting it up and whacking it on a plastic tray.
Not surprisingly, the effort has seen the company receive a healthy serve of scorn online.
"Marks and Spencer stores are selling sliced cauliflower as 'Cauliflower Steak' with lots of lovely plastic and charging £2 (normally £2.50). A cauliflower costs about 69p from a local veg shop," noted Clarke.
