Please do not start me up on cabbage soup.
Placed a head of cabbage in the new fridge too close to the side and it half way froze.
I dislike food waste so decided last night to toss out the spongy half and make cabbage soup with the rest.
I call it Poop Soup!
Rethinking having it again! - @Marilyn Tassy
You could perhaps have cooked it up with caraway seeds. I've had spicy cabbage soup like that and it was really rather nice. I am in no way a fan of cabbage (except white cabbage in coleslaw) but it was good to have spicy cabbage that one time. It was more like the cabbage was the bulk filler for the sauce. Still, made it palatable. I hated boiled cabbage in school. Awful. - @fluffy2560

Not to stereotype myself or anyone but the Slav in me usually loves cabbage.

Red or white.

I do make a killer red cabbage with caraway seeds and grated apples, nice side dish.

Since I was ill, my entire system has changed super sensitive to foods now.

Boiled cabbage, mom used to put slices of cabbage in her Sunday roast pan , some beef roast, carrots,cabbage and potatoes, made homemade gravy too.

What I would give for one more of her Sunday roasts.

I forgot about red cabbage.  Good call.   


Yes, that's the one, with grated apples.  Very nice.  The apples obviously covers the cabbage's negatives.


Not had slices of cabbage in the roast pan but when did I last have a roast with the trimmings?   I cannot even remember that.  I was at a restaurant and had some but that's not the same.   


We should do something as we have a house full - three lads (incl. our son) and two lasses (incl. our daughter and her friend from Munich) plus Mrs F and I and plus the cat and dog.  9 occupants in total.  I don't know why but we have collected all the "strays"  joining  us at Fluffy Towers.   


BTW, one of the lads brought his telescope.  He set it up to see Saturn and yup, I saw it too!  Incredible, even the rings were visible.  It's taken 60+ years for me to see Saturn "live".


We're having a day trip to Balaton as well today.  We'll really pushing it as we can only go in the afternoon.  The traffic will be horrendous as everyone will be rushing there due to the continuing heatwave.
