We have an overwhelming glut this year. I've done all the usual things - with apple, raisins, caraway seeds, sour cream - any really original ideas out there?

Would I be stating the bleeding obvious to mention pickling? I LURVVE pickled red cabbage. I hate green cabbage. Can't be doing with it. Probably a memory relic of school dinners, yet again. |

cut one in half and stare at the patterns in its centre until you see the unicorn who leads you to the fourth dimension where we are nowt but ethereal colours and misguided thoughts, drifting in the ether.

The patterns are lovely, true.
I don't think I like pickled red cabbage, but I may yet be driven to it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Talking of red and white cabbage,
Newcastle 5 -- 1 Sunderland
How I wish I was in that great city tonight. Preferably in the bar of The Hotspur (assuming it's still there and not now called The Pound World Kebab Shack).

I absolutely LURRRRVVVVVE sauerkraut/choucroute/zuurkool. Never had kiszona kapusta, but I reckon you might've, Jean. |

Well, as it happens I got some out of the freezer last night that I'd cooked with apples and stuff and not been that impressed with, but after an extra half an hour in the oven underneath some wild boar chops I got at the Farmers' Market, it was sublime.
So I suspect most of the rest of it will be turned into that.

Christmas with my in-laws was always an ordeal when Jack's gran was alive, , because she would make her special red cabbage with (among other things) cloves. It would have been rude to say no, but it was a struggle to eat.
Cloves are for toothache, ladies and gents. Leave them well away from red cabbage.

Don't particularly like salmon -- except out of a tin, in a sandwich -- but I'd eat it if given. Not oysters. Twice was enough. Same with cannabis, luckily. |

Cloves are the Work of the Devil. No! they're really good in lots of things, for example with juniper berries in venison stew. And what would bread sauce be without them? I was going to put them in my next lot of red cabbage, because I asked my German friend for her authentic recipe and she says she always puts an onion stuck with cloves in the middle. (I had lots and lots of cabbage when I was in Poland, but it was always white. There was so much beetroot as well, I suppose they thought there might be a surfeit of red. You could even buy cartons of beetroot and apple juice) |

Or your orange! (Does anyone still do that?) |
