Today is National Cabbage Day. Remember any of my previous posts on national food days? I chuckle every time I learn what today's national food day is.
Cabbage is one of those foods that I've always shied away from. As a kid, remember being served boiled cabbage and sauerkraut, and I never could develop a taste for them. I didn't even like coleslaw. However, as an adult, I appreciate strands of cabbage in salads with other greens, I love coleslaw if the dressing is good, and so I guess I can't say that I hate cabbage any longer.
Except that I can say that any cooked cabbage is something I can still say I hate.
There are so many good foods in the world, but cabbage is part of a handful I do not care for. The others? -- Brussels sprouts, and beef liver.
Now, there are some other foods I haven't tried yet, that I probably never will try, and so I can say I hate the idea of them but I can't say I actually hate the food. Things that fall into this category are brains, tripe, pigs feet, sweetbreads and other similar internal parts of farm animals.
I try to be open to sampling any new food, but some of those items, I simply can't get myself to try. Perhaps I'm missing out on something tremendously delicious. I probably will never know for sure.
