      im proud to say my children would eat cabbage snd potatoes (and do) if thats whats served to them. its just a matter of that being all there is. and nothing else to compare it to. i hope it helps you feel a bit better :) we make $68 a week for groceries and toiletries etc work and although id always try to put a protien on their plate so they may ask if there was anything else or is this the whole meal. once assured they would get on with it without compkaint. and without!! stealing from anothers plate!! 🤣 we mske $67 a week for a family of four work. we have a very small garden and 2 ducks who lay occasionally spring through summer. theyve never known a patry full of instant food or treats. they get plenty of treats because sugar is cheap and people give kids sugar all year round halloween christmas birthdays easter. we bake apple pies or cookies and we enjoy our lives. i hope im doing the right thing.

    Cabbage can be prepared in dozens of ways plus it's growing season extends almost year round. Sour kraut is an easy dish that requires little hands on preparation. Cabbage rolls can be filled with ground lamb, beef, turkey, etc. and can even be mixed with TVP, or rice to stretch it out into more rolls. There is no reason we need to panic about food rationing, even if it is in our future. Our parents and grand parents survived and so can we. The key is to share and share alike, not hoard.

    Just recently I realized that shredded raw cabbage is a low calorie healthful food to snack on.
    It does take extra cooking labors when not just cooking for ones self.
    People are often very fortunate to have any land for growing their own food.

      @765respect 5 років тому +2

      I would never tell children when they are learning to cook that their food tastes nasty. Just tell them what was not right and how to fix the problem next time. Always had the boys cooking with me. The only seasoning they use is lemon and oregano and only use olive oil. I taught them other seasonings but that's all they use. Well at least they cook!

    • @765respect

      @Dennis Wilson Reread my comment. Key is to teach kids and be there to stop things before they go wrong. You back off when they understand the process and they will become confident and independent. That's why my children (and nephews and nieces) will always be around and they are bringing their kids around me too.
      It always surprises me when their friends recognize me yrs later and give me a hug and the utmost respect. I was a the VA getting a procedure done and a young woman with a bunch of kids came up to me and asked if I was my son's mom. Happy to see me 16 yrs later. She didn't remember what I did just that she had good feelings around me. I feel very good about the life lessons I gave my kids.

    I still HAVE that grate. It's called a Triplex grate and I think it was made in around 1936. We used to use it as a fire many years ago before we got central heating, but never really used it as a cooker. When my kids were small,thirty -odd years ago, I used to warm their pyjamas in the oven. Now I use the oven to store my metal cooking trays etc. How great to see it featuring large in this little film!

Boil with smoked sausage( or ham bone)onions,carrots, potatoes( turnips,rutabaga) for boiled dinner. Boil & eat with a splash of viniger. Lots of ways. Roll up with a stuffing of minced meat, onions,garlic, Rice or barley. Cover with tomatoes sauce & bake. Stir fry shredded cabbage with vegetables. Very versatile vegetable.

    COMPUSTA!!! shredded cabbage, liberally sprinkled with salt and left to wilt for at minimum of 2 hours, the longer the better, over night is best. drain off the salty cabbage water, squeeze out excess, add shredded onion, vinegar, olive oil, tiny bit of sugar, maybe some shreds of carrot, and let sit overnight, stirring a couple of times and you get the best cabbage ''slaw'' without all the mayo and muck. and it gets better as it ages...mmmm

    OOhhhhhh I'd have smacked the heck out of that boy, trying to steal his brother's food like that, then I'd have scraped every bit of food off of his plate except the "bad" cabbage and MADE him eat it or go without! And he's the older of the two!! Wartime or not i would NOT have put up with that let alone given him some of the "good" cabbage! If he'd have simply asked politely I might have told the younger girl to eat her own cabbage (ie the one she cooked), and let him have some of the "good", but to heck with trying to push his own brother off of his food to steal it!
    The so-called nasty cabbage could have been rescued by returning it to its cooking water and turning the whole into a soup of some kind, perhaps with beans, potatoes and onions, plus if possible a tomato or two, and a handful of barley or pasta. A little bacon or bacon fat would have really rescued the soup to a decent meal too. But it's true that you should not cook cabbage in enough water to cover - just enough to steam it to tenderness.
