I tried the "cauliflower grilled cheese" so you don't have to. 
I found the recipe on facebook, and saved it, because what the heck? I don't do bread and I'm always looking for good substitutes. I'm not shy about eating what would go in the sandwich, without the bread. But sometimes I like to eat a sandwich like a normal person.
The "bread" calls for cauliflower (chopped small enough to resemble rice, so get out that food processor), eggs, oregano and Parm cheese.

So I bought a bag of chopped cauliflower, because who has time to assemble the food processor? And then clean it? My first thought was, this probably isn't chopped quite small enough. But I went on, I followed the recipe and put my "bread" in a hot buttered pan. First of all, I think the crumbles were too big after all because it did not hold together. And yet I persisted. When I tried to flip it, it fell apart. It's like when you try to flip an omelette and you're like, guess who's having scrambled eggs! So now I had scrambled cauliflower eggs. I put some cheese in the middle once both sides of the mess were browned, and then I pretended like I had a sandwich, except I ate it with a fork.

My thoughts are:
People think this is a good bread substitute?
This is a good bread substitute like spaghetti squash is a good pasta substitute. 
If you have no taste buds at all and your bread is usually crumbly and crunchy, you might think it's like bread.
It's an omelette. Skip the cauliflower and make yourself an omelette.

Recipe here, if you still want to try it ;)

Upon thinking on this some more, wouldn't it make sense to boil and puree the cauliflower mix before making it into "bread" so it's not raw? Pan cooking cauliflower until it's tender seems like it would take an awfully long time, and the recipe says only 5 minutes per side.
