They are a staple of vegetable gardens and allotments here, so I've known how they grow as long as I've known how they taste.
I prefer them au naturel. As in, leave the damn things growing and don't eat them.
I should give them another taste, given my palate has shifted over the years.
I remember being talked into eating cabbage as a child, after I'd helped pick, cut and cook it (although see Bruce's sprouts method of cooking!). I was so hopeful. BLEURGH! I spat it out. Got rightfully told off for that.
The point being I love me some cabbage now.
I still can't abide cauliflower unless I can't taste it though. And cauliflower cheese is just a waste of cheese.
I'll have piccalilli or aloo gobi for example. In which case I may as well stick with eating more natural forms of the vegetable I genuinely like. Don't listen to Limey, it is most vegetables. Just not necessarily the ones people grow in their vegetable gardens or allotments here!
