I googled. Yes, it does have to sit for a while for the flavors to come together properly.

It's mainly cabbage though. Not what I'd choose as a staple to provide to poor, starving people. It's vitamin C laden roughage, providing minimal calories.

I guess it makes you feel fuller, but you're still starving.
