Cabbage....

Promised myself I would try some of Dad's 'special cabbage' when he made
it, and he made it today. I tried it. I still hate it. :P

I can't deal with kidneys or parsnips when they are cooking, They smell to
me like a ****oir. They are OK to eat if you don't go near the cooking.

My brain doesn't like many-legged octopuos/squid things. I took a special
section on Neapolitan cookery once and the "prize" meal afterward had an
antipasto plate covered with these animals, centered by a whole red one that
looked like a fat poinsettia. I had to leave until the next course.

1. Great Northern beans.
2. Cruciferous vegetables: cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale,
cauliflower.
3. Scallions.
4. Liver/pancreas.

I'll try and remember - the smell of the cabbage cooking drove me out of
the kitchen

He cooked the chopped up cabbage and some sliced carrots in his pressure
cooker (not at the same time); he says the cabbage only needs a
minute.... Dunno how long the carrots took.
He skinned some tomatoes and chopped them up too.
Then he chopped up some onions and sauteed them till golden brown.
Then he added the cabbage, carrots and tomatoes to the onions in the pan
and then stirred it all up on low heat. (I think).
He threw some bay leaves in there somewhere, but not sure exactly when.

I actually took two bites - bleeeeech.

I can still think of better ways to get gas (as I think sf pointed out)


Anyway, I tried...

Should I post one of my favorite dishes with cabbage? I got this one
from Molly Stevens..from her book All About Braising.
You might hate it anyway, but I think it is damned good. One of the
best cabbage dishes I have ever had....

Quite frankly, that doesn't sound very good to me, and I love cabbage. I
can think of many better ways to prepare it.

Kidneys and parsnips don't bother me. They are not one of my favorites,
tho'.

Oh, that's hilarious. A fat poinsettia. I'm with you on the many
legged thing. I'm sure they are delicous, I just doubt I'll ever find
out. The legs put me off. Yet, I'll eat crab. Go figure.

Funny how our tastes differ. I like most of your list except the cabbage
(of course) and the pancreas. Calves liver is good if cooked right - and
I love chicken livers.

Slice and steam the cabbage till only *just* done, put in a bowl with
lots of fresh butter and as much curry powder as you can stand.

Taught to me back in '72 by my Dutch g/f's mum :-)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Girda.... of the long blonde hair, great ass, and the
*fantastic* bazoombas!! :-)

Turnips, rutabagas.
Twinkies (are they food?)
Twizzlers (ditto)
Uni.
Most raw fish and shellfish.
Bitter melon (and other extremely bitter things).
Soft drinks.
Booze (almost all). (I do cook with it, and I do, very
rarely, consume alcoholic beverages.)

Please do post it, Chris. Even if I won't eat it Dad will be sure to
enjoy it - and we have plenty of cabbage in the garden at the moment.
Don't look at me, *I* didn't plant it...

Kidneys. We tried a few times to cook them for our dog - a big Akita -- We
had to leave the house afterwards, and gagged all the time they cooked. We
tried boiling them, and we tried microwaving them. Next to liver, the most
absolutely disgusting thing in the word to me. (We went back to chicken
parts for the dog.)

Anything mention of the word liver sends my stomach reeling. I watched Ina
Garten making a liver pate for her darling, .... Up-chuck!

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.

Okay, you're on.

I won't be able to do it tonight, as I have to do a CEU course for
getting my WA state license...

but soon, I hope.

But ask sky, as to how reliable I am regarding "soon"... she might

I is just I wanted to see you actually post a recipe...You always seem to
avoid posting recipes. And I'd have all that bother of finding the
cooknook and then reading it. At least give us a page number.

I do that for you...I might give you the wrong cookbook name but I do
give the right page number.

I thought of one with cabbage-- pizzoccheri, a mountain dish made with
buckwheat noodles and pounds of butter. It makes me shudder to recall it.
http://tangoitalia.com/cucina/ricette_valtellina.htm
which actually contains 1/3 of the butter in the version I had.

Me too. Calamari breaded and deep fried is one of my favourites.

Also really good is when it is skewered and grilled (really common
street food in Japan) or dried peppered squid is a great snack with beer.

If you ever visit the USA, http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/Locate.asp
Order 'em with extra onion. One of the "better ways to get gas."

I love liver, as long as it's not too rare. In fact, when we went out for
dinner last night, I had grilled liver with onions and bacon. Delicious!

I certainlly agree with your comments about kidney, however.

I agree. The thought makes me gag. Not too fond of squid or
octopus.

I've heard that some have fish on Fridays, for known reasons. But for some
reason, it's been in the back of my mind thathad liver&onions on Friday.
You know - like that's be a good day to have it.
Maybe someone else has heard of that and give me an answer.

I'm not familiar with that. I have it whenever the mood strikes, but not
all that often. It's a dish I never prepare at home, as David won't eat
it, and I won't bother for just myself.

I couldn't agree more. (I'm not fond of pressure cookers either).
