I generally steam it.
Big fan of sprouts and spring greens too, think that’s allowed, it’s all cabbage!

Trying I’m suspicious of a vegetable that you have to cover in salt for 1/2 hour before you can cook it🤨

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 02:54

Yes indeed Just

Time and place etc

Do potatoes count? I love other veg but I'd miss the carbs too much. That and some of my favourite dishes have potato in so I'd be a bit screwed (that and chippy chips are just too big to lose).

@Lovingbenidorm now you are being snobbish, surely you can turn the humble potatoe into a breakfast treat???

OP posts:
Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:07

Yes potatoes count!
They are indeed a vegetable and therefore can be your choice
(A potato always tastes better with a touch of cabbage 😉)

Unpopular opinion is coming... broccoli.

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:10

Ok
I’m doing skillet eggs with cabbage hash ......mmmmm

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:11

Broccoli 🤔

Lovingbenidorm · 04/03/2019 03:12

I’m ok with tenderstem but not so sure about the big lumpy ones

dreichuplands · 04/03/2019 03:12

You can make bubble and squeak with larger cabbages than Brussels. A fine potato and cabbage dish, also great for breakfast with a fried egg.

siestakey · 04/03/2019 03:12

Broccoli. (Fresh not frozen!)

dreichuplands · 04/03/2019 03:13

I think tomatoes are the most versatile veg ( unless they count as a fruit?)

Oh god tomatoes are a fruit and you are evil for bringing this up
