Cabbage is a familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and wise as a man's head.
Cabbage is a food with certain problems. It is easy to grow, a useful source of greenery for much of the year. Yet as a vegetable it has original sin, and needs improvement. It can smell foul in the pot, linger through the house with pertinacity, and ruin a meal with its wet flab. It also has a nasty history of being good for you.
Cabbage is a friendly vegetable: when you cook it in your apartment it goes up and down the hall and visits your neighbors.
Cabbage surpasses all other vegetables, for a lot of cabbage seasoned with vinegar before and after dinner will allow one to eat a big digger and make one feel as if one had not eaten, and one can drink as much as one likes.
