Bump for cabbage. BTW, Glory brand now has canned Country Cabbage, seasoned with ham and it IS good!

Oh man, that sounds yummy. I wonder if I can find that in California? I have never heard of Glory brand. Maybe I can check online!

The very best cabbage recipe is called Older Than Dirt Stew: 1 medium to large head of cabbage, cut in wedges; 3 or 4 onions, cut in wedges, 1/2 to 1 pound salt pork, cut in chunks, 2 cans stewed tomatoes, cayanne pepper to taste (we like it pretty spicy), salt, pepper, dash of garlic powder.

Brown salt pork in Dutch oven and do not drain. Add cabbage wedges and simmer until cabbage is boiled down (Don't add water). Add onion and do the same. Add tomatoes and seasonings and simmer until it all looks a bit like slush. Absolutely delicious! Cornbread is a great go-along. Very good at campfires at re-enactments of the War Between the States -- or in your own kitchen.
