    Well, I love cabbage! Perhaps you're not cooking it right, and boiling it to buggery (which makes it produce that foul 'farty' smell and taste), instead of steaming it, then stirring it in some butter, along with adding a pinch of nutmeg and plenty of ground black [or even white] pepper, before serving it?

    Clue: once cooked it should have some bite and texture, and not simply be a pile of sloppy mush

    The best way to cook cabbage is to douse it in petrol and apply a blow torch .... or insert a stick of dynamite and light the fuse.

    Lol... I'd bet you any money you'd love the cabbage we make, so you should visit to test it out. You'll either leave richer or learn something new!

    Let me guess, you've got bad memories of cabbage from some horrid school dinners you ate, back in the day? That's often the case, but it doesn't have to be that way
