Appearance Matters

[poliphilo]

I cooked pork chops, mushrooms, applesauce , mashed potato.  Ailz thought it was nice, so it wasn't entirely a mistake, but it looked quite awful- like an undifferentiated greyish gloop,  like porridge.  I ate it (I'm almost religious these days about not wasting food) but I didn't enjoy eating it- even though it tasted fine.  I don't normally think about the way food looks, but obviously I should.  A small pile of bright green peas would have made all the difference.

Now that's the very last thing you want to do with cabbage.

I don't eat cabbage much- probably because it reminds me of my childhood- and not in a good way, but whenever I do I'm surprised by just how tasty it can be.

I love cabbage --- but not boiled! I usually eat it raw as coleslaw, or pickled as sauerkraut, or stirfried/pan-fried. Generally I only eat boiled cabbage in the form of barefit broo.

I used to hate coleslaw, but I've come round to it in my old age.

Coleslaw is a food group as far as I'm concerned. *g* But then I grew up in a family where it was made in many different ways, and was a major source of fresh greenstuff in the winter, so I've pretty much always loved it.
