For older generations it may conjure ghastly memories of cold school dinners, but thanks to the "clean eating" craze sweeping the UK, cabbage has become cool.
In a sign that fermented cabbage has achieved food craze status, Britain's restaurant chains are starting include pickled cabbage dishes like German sauerkraut and Korean kimchi on their menus in a bid to be trendy.
The Slug and Lettuce, Byron and Greene King pubs have cottoned onto the trend and are selling burgers which feature kimchi, while Loch Fyne is offering a Confit Duck Leg with kimchi cabbage on the side.
Supermarkets are also reporting selling more cabbage, with Sainsbury's saying sales are up by 39pc since Christmas.

That’s crazy. I just added two pieces of tasty, perfectly cooked bacon to my “artisinal” sriracha sauerkraut last night (with alfalfa and bean sprouts) and it was a good combination.
Not just farting. I stood next to Korean close-talker once and it was obvious he had just chowed down on kim chi.
His breath could have stopped a speeding locomotive.
Sauerkraut is useless for health unless it is made with fermented cabbage, not vinegar.
Me too. I got strep throat last spring. I thought “you don’t fool around with strep” so i went to the doc and got on an antibiotic. A week after it was done, the strep came right back. He gave me a STRONGER antibiotic. I was so upset to even take something that destroys the whole immune system but I did that round too. One week later, the strep was back. I was DONE with “medicine” at that point. I researched online, and made a tiny bowl of chopped raw garlic(must be from USA, not china) and raw honey, maybe 2 tbsp each, with about 1/2-1 tsp cayenne powder mixed in. I ate a teaspoonful of this many times a day and started getting better. It was a slow better, taking about a week, but thereafter the steep NEVER came back.
So I use this mix for all kinds of colds, flus, infections now too.
For people who just will NOT eat these things, make a “tea” of them. Into boiling water drop a few smashed garlic cloves, turn off the heat and let it steep. Then strain or spoon the garlic out. Add the raw honey, as sweet as your patient needs. Most people will drink it as a warm tea, and add a dash of cayenne if they can handle it (kids and elderly might not). If that also doesn’t work, because they don’t drink hot drinks, make the garlic “tea,” add the honey, plenty of it, and let cool completely. Then juice a couple lemons. Combine the two and add fresh cold water and you have “lemonade” and kids will drink it and not know about the garlic! They probably will not want the cayenne, though.
Another KDrama addict here!
I just finished binge-watching Goblin. Every time I watch KDrama, I crave Korean food!
I’ll have to get it from her - she’s overseas on a trip.
Sauerkraut: I like to heat it in covered saucepan with some polish sausage links.

Now you’re talkin’...........Johnsonville Brats work too
This is good news for Kankles since her staffies say she smells like urine and boiled cabbage.
I tried to watch this with my husband but he found it slow, so I will watch it without him. Just finished Romance Town, is has a lot of moral dilemmas to consider, but it quick paced and the lead actress is cute. Binge watching a Taiwanese drama “Bromance; she was forced to live as a boy to circumvent death. Both are light and fluffy.
What I’d like to know from you, what is great and epic like Goblin that you would recommend. Thank-you and have a blessed Easter.
P.S. They should have in the credit of each episode, what they ate and the recipes. I too CRAVE Korean food.
One I just finished, that your husband may like is “A Gentleman’s Dignity”
I am also watching now “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon”.
Real kimchi and ‘kraut and pickles, as fermented veggies, are considered good in part for their probiotic properties, I believe.

What it really means is the price of cabbage is going up.
I was stationed in Korea for 18 months, ate kimchi almost everyday. Came back home to my wife and she said I stink of garlic. Wish there was a way to mask the smell of garlic, because I really like kimchi.
You mean befor we know it we’ll have to pay good kimchi for our cabbage?
Make her eat Kimchi and then you’ll both smell like garlic
How is your health from eating all that Kimchi?
Fermented foods and garlic are supposed to be natural antibiotics similar to penicillin (but natural)
Well, I think it is very healthy. I don’t eat as much kimchi as before, because my wife says I smell. And no she will not touch it.
