I take chopped cabbage, sliced onion, grated carrot, garlic and some taco
seasoning... Oh and some cubed pork steak mix/melt in some cubed cream
cheese and make a nice casserole.

I had an adversion to cabbage as a kid. I think it was a hang on of the
smell of over-cooked cabbage in a unliked creepy Aunt's apartment
building hallway. I really hated visiting her, my mom always dragged me
along with her and remember the smell of over-cooked cabbage in the
hallways. Give me a break I was around 5 and she wasn't really an Aunt
just a friend of my mom.

That stopped me for many years (think 25 years) from many good foods,
such as cabbage rolls, kimchi and sourkraut. I almost stopped eating
coleslaw when I became aware it involed cabbage.

Now I eat it with delight... well at least once a month. I cook up a mess
of soups using cabbage mostly because living alone prevents cooking up a
whole head and stored fresh veggies don't do well in my fridge as I
forget to use them and have to throw them out after I find their remains
a week later.

Cooked right there is nothing as tasty as cooked cabbage...the
tenderness, the flavour is great. Over-cooked I still find it nasty
though.
