Cabbage

Much care should be used in preparing cabbage for boiling, as insects are frequently found within its leaves. The drum -head cabbage requires a good hour to boil; the green Savoy cabbage will boil in half the time.

Cabbage should not boil too long, as too much boiling makes them watery and insipid. Drain the cabbage through a colander, and serve with drawn butter, or butter poured over it.

Red cabbage is used for slaw, also the white winter cabbage.
