• Survival Foods

    No wonder cabbages are considered survival foods.  I read in the weekend paper that cabbage can actually stay in your refrigerator for months, wrapped in saran wrap.  In fact, even if it grows mould, the mould can be scraped off, much like cheese, leaving the rest of the cabbage uncontaminated.  So why not incorporate cabbage into your soups and stews, braise it, use it in a stir-fry, make sauerkraut, or make a salad with it. Although coleslaw is an obvious choice, you can add shredded cabbage to leafy salads too.  My favourite salad, when I lived in Oxford, UK, was in one of the school canteens.  It contained shredded cabbage, sweet corn, and a mixture of other salad fixin’s. I’d love to recreate this salad at home. And at 99¢, you can’t beat this nutritious survival food.

      I love cabbage, too! I love cole slaw, but I also like just steamed cabbage drizzled with a little melted butter. Mmm…
