Note
A plural that counts whole plants or heads: dozens of cauliflowers, three cauliflowers on the stall. When the vegetable is food on the plate, English usually treats it as a mass noun instead (some cauliflower, roasted cauliflower), so the plural belongs to the field and the market more than to the kitchen. The same spelling also serves the verb meaning to swell like a cauliflower ear: an injured ear cauliflowers.
