We should skin a few liberals. All their brains are nothing but cabbage.
The Irish do not eat corned beef and cabbage. Only Americans eat this, thinking it's what the Irish eat? Same as when they say St. Patty's Day. Misconceptions.
@ Searlit- Have you not seen on Irish news that we have been hoodwinked into eating donkeys and horses? Its happening in the UK too. Although the report of Muslims in prison being fed pork rather than a donkey or a horse was a little disturbing as pork is exactly what I want to consume and yet I'm fed donkeys and horses. I currently have a pot on the boil containing pigtails and turnip. To avoid eating donkeys and horses. I grew up on a farm in N.Cork so I know what a pigs tail looks like.
Maybe they can start growing it in Iceland? @ antoman, usually I find your comments funny, but not about the donkeys & especially the horses.
Use lettuce or nettles. I've been eating donkeys and horses for some time now and never knew it. I imagine the same conspiratorial ploy could be used in America to convince people they are eating cabbage. You can't make a silk purse from a pigs ear they say. That may be true but has anyone tried making a silk purse from a donkey or horse ear?
I use frozen brussel sprouts anyway
tragedy! we need a White House save the cabbage day
Perpetuating the corned beef and cabbage nonsense. No one ever heard of that in Ireland. It is in fact a Jewish recipe from the lower east side of NY from the late 1800's.
what the man said is that there is an over supply now. The warm spell has caused the crop to mature early in abundance. If you like cabbage, you gotta love global warming.
No shortage of cabbage in my Northwest USA garden.
