| Cabbage from Cariboo Growers |
All wrapped up in a round package,
You can last for months in my fridge,
And survive falling from a bridge,
Green, Savoy and red,
Cabbage you are keeping me well fed,
A source of vitamin C and dietary fibre,
To which I am a subscriber.
Chopped up in Coleslaw,
A tasty treat to gnaw,
Diced and fried,
enjoyed far and wide,
Homemade Sauerkraut,
If I run out I might pout,
Blanched, baked and boiled,
Eating you in time so you wont be spoiled.
There is a nasty side to you,
You can taste good and not so good too,

Which makes it hard to stay so classy,
You often have a funny smell,
That even scented candles wont quell,
You will be with me all winter,
Like a bad cold or a terrible splinter.
It is a love hate relationship,
In this winter vegetable dictatorship,
but for eating local,
at this time of year you are focal,
Maybe I should have been Polish,
Because I think you are delich',
and this winter from you I will survive,
Perhaps with cabbage, this locavore can thrive.
P.s. Here is a great recipe for Cabbage Rolls
Cheers, Melanie
