cooking so as to appeal to children
Is there a good way to cook cabbage ( and/or with something simple to mix
with it) to make it more appealing to children, who don't normally much like cabbage? Thanks for advice. |

Thanks for advice. I always liked it as a kid, so I tried to think about things that reignited my interest in cabbage because they were very different. What came to mind was slivered cabbage stirfried with garlic and sauced with something that included hoisin sauce. Stuffed cabbage is really going to lengths, but is just wonderful to eat. |

Ones that come to mind quickly are stuffed cabbage rolls, or shredded cabbage mixed with the meat of their choice, including hot dogs or other sausages. -- Peace!

Thanks for advice. That depends on the child. When I was a kid, my mom used to make an old Polish dish called prackis (sp?), which is cabbage rolls with ground veal in the center and simmered in tomato sauce. My little sister wouldn't touch it, but I loved it. I have four god children (two boys, two girls). We are very close. The youngest kid just turned six. The oldest is midway into her 15th year. All four kids have the same parents, yet they have very different tastes in food. The oldest girl will try anything I ask her to eat, but she definitely has a narrow range of foods she really enjoys. The six year old boy will eat the typical things many six year old kids prefer, and not much else. The 12 year old will eat anything that's not moving. The ten year old couldn't care less about food, so she will eat pretty much anything, but only a small portion, then she wants to do something else. So try making those Polish cabbage rolls with veal in the middle, or just don't worry about it. I have a long time friend who has a ten year old son. This kid is by far the most fussy eater I have ever met. He litterally looks malnourished. You can see his ribs and bones, and he doesn't care about food. That's the way he's always been. I have known him since he was born. He literally only eats chicken finger (one at a meal and that's it), vanilla soft serve ice cream, and spaghetti with no sauce on it of any kind, and grilled cheese and french fries. That's it. Even when he does eat, its a very small amount. I used to try to get him to eat different things, but I gave up. His uncle and I once were watching him for a day when we realized there was a big sports event on TV that we really wanted to see and no time to get him back to his parents when we were on vacation in Disney World so we took him to the ESPN Zone and we sat him down in the bar area with us. He sat wide eyed watching the game with us and he hardly said a word. We tried to get him to eat some of the food we ordered, but all he wanted was french fries and an ice tea, so that's what he got. He did try one bite of one of our buffalo chicken wings, but that was it. I was stunned that he behaved so well during the game. We offered to call his parents to come get him, but he said he was fine hanging out with us. I don't have kids, but I do have a lot of other people's children in my life, so I can tell you that they are all unique. Some kids will eat cabbage, and some won't ... just like adults. If your kids won't eat cabbage, then don't feed it to them, but try the prackis, and if they try it and like it, great; otherwise, oh well. |

Simplest is fried cabbage with egg noodles... most kids like noodles. Saute shredded/chopped cabbage in butter until tender-limp, add cooked noodles to pan, toss and add s n'p. |

My little sister wouldn't touch it, but I loved it. I detested cabbage as a child but that is because, in British tradition, it was cooked to death. Much later, I found that I rather liked it cooked for a few minutes. I also like shredded cabbage in Cole-Slaw and as a salad or an accompaniment to Japanese fried cutlets. Gujerati Sambhara uses pretty well cooked cabbage. Other Indian dishes include some varieties of Thoren or Poryal (dry curries). Lightly cooked cabbage is used in Colcannon (Irish) or Rumbledethumps (Scottish). The last name alone might make it appealing to kids. Mediterranean stuffed cabbage might also be enjoyed by kids -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Simple and elegant. That was a nice side dish a neighbor in Sasebo taught me. It hadnt occured to me until Charlotte came home and mentioned it. The kids there would travel in little 'flocks' about the apartment building and normally get fed little bits. With an extremely diverse ethnic mix, there were all sorts of variations but most of us were real careful to make it 'real food' (not candy and cakes and such). When Charlotte mentioned it, I wandered over with a head of cabbage and some other things that looked likely and asked for the recipe. Here was Serena's version of it: Cook pasta to al-dente and keep warm at the side. Melt butter and a little olive oil in frypan. Add shredded carrots (she just used a standard peeler over the pan), about 1/2 cup, and white onion (aboit 1/3 cup) and let slightly carmelize until the onions are a light golden color. Blanch cabbage leaves (torn to bitesize) until just barely limp in the pasta water then remove with slotted spoon to frypan. Let melt into butter and finish off. At this stage she had 2 variations. 3 really as sometimes she just seved it this way with nothing more added. Option 1: used caraway seeds. Option 2: used a bit of a hoisin-like sauce mixed with a little 'rooster sauce' (not too much, just enough for a mild bite). This was then poured, complete with all pan juices over the pasta and lightly mixed. Served whole in a bowl at the table, each would serve themselves (very asian treatment in dining habits to do this at home). Close to how you might make it? BTW, I traded back my recipe that she'd heard of from her kids. Dashi-miso soup with spinach, tofu, and other bits of things friendly to that flavor. |

I'm not an expert--to me most cabbage smells like swamp gas and it's hard to get past that. I do enjoy sweet and sour red cabbage, however. gloria p |

Shred it, and stir fry with pork or chicken (with some ginger type blend). Spread warm tortillas with some hoison sauce, place stir fry in top & roll up, like mu shoo pork. My kids LOVE that! Kris |

I haven't checked all the responses, but my suggestion is to get them involved with the cooking process. I know many a kid that normally disliked a specific vegetable, or other item, that was on their plate (tuna for example), that when brought to the kitchen and participated in making the the meal, they'd gobble it down.
