cook: cauliflower pizza is terrible

Last night I needed a quick meal but was tired of leftovers. A month or so ago I bought frozen cauliflower pizzas. Just to try. I like cauliflower. I like pizza. Surely the two can come together to make a tasty pie.

And just in case, I amped them up with Italian sausage on one and bocconcini and more fresh basil on the other along with a chopped chianti tomato and basil blossoms on both.             
And the verdict is nope, nope, nope.
I'm not going to say that cauliflower pizza is even acceptable. Even with additional gourmet toppings, the pies were not good. I like a frozen pizza, but these were terrible. I looked at the ingredients on the box--corn starch being the star ingredient followed by cauliflower and potato starch. No fucking wonder. I didn't know that the product was aiming for gluten free. I'd rather eat one slice of a wheat flour pizza with heads of roasted cauliflower atop marinara and melting cheese rather than a whole pie of this awful crust. So that is my mission--to create a cauliflower pizza but not a cauliflower crust to ban this awful memory.
