When you get seaweed from the chinese...

It isn't seaweed.

It's CABBAGE!!!

Must have had it over 100 times from the chinese and I never knew.

I can't have been the only one?!

And why is it always uniformally the same dark green? Full of food colouring, I suspect.

Had loads of Chinese's but never seaweed. What is this dish that you speaketh of?

workshyfop · 05/09/2018 19:38

Why do they call it seaweed then? It’s mid-selling.

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/09/2018 19:38

I only found out this year and it took me a while to come to terms with it to be honest.

I hate cabbage. I love Chinese seaweed. I feel betrayed but can’t stop eating it all the same.
