Will someone please explain how *anybody* can eat cauliflower...?

52. If you ever find yourself wandering the bowels of central New Jersey, go to Mithaas in North...

...Brunswick and order the gobhi manchurian. It's on Finnegan's Lane.

(It's an Indian Restaurant.)

My late boss took me there during my interview for the job, the beginning of a professional relationship built that developed into the deepest personal respect and friendship.

After eating the gobhi manchurian, which came with a "what is it?" quiz, (I had no idea what it was) I never felt the same way about cauliflower, and in fact, life, again.

I also knew I had to work with this guy, and now that he's gone, whenever I see a cauliflower I feel this magnificent grief. He was a great teacher, and not insignificant, was what he taught me about cauliflower.
