Anything we eat around here, we eat because we like it.

I think the biggest problem with cabbage is that the previous generation cooked it to death, which made it stink.

I think the point people are missing is that I eat it because I like to, not because I can’t afford something else.

I use cabbage quite a lot with my beef roasts along with carrots, potatoes and onions. I put it all in the crockpot or if the roast is big, I steam the vegetables. I grew up in a perpetual recession, sometimes depression, so have a lot of comfort food recipes.

Quick, ask your co-workers how much cabbage they ate in the past 12 months.

I kind of like coleslaw, but that’s as far into eating cabbage as I get. Unless your saying “eating cabbage” as some kind of euphemism, then I’d have to rethink my policy.
