(Sharing this because Mom used to make Fried Cabbage + noodles, Hungarian I think. I may try it again. I'll leave out anchovies in the recipe above!)

1. That looks good. I'll make it with anchovies though.

I love anchovies.

5. Me, too. I'd rather eat anchovies than chocolate.

2. I was taught to make cabbage and noodles by my mother in law's aunt,

and now that I'm the caregiver to my 82 year old Hungarian dad, I make it once in a while for him. I've never, ever heard of anyone putting anchovies in it. Yuck!

3. Right, no anchovies, but made with butter, right???

[kas125]

6. Yep, lots of butter!

[Lugnut]

7. And browned with onions.

That's how my mother made them.

8. Right! Thanks for reminding me!

9. Only 7:10 am but

I feel I could eat a bowl of this right now!

[EFerrari]

4. That is exactly how I feel about cabbage!

I'll try the pasta and the Vietnamese salad, too. Thanks.

10. I saw someone on tv make a dish using cabbage, noodles, onion and bacon.

I haven't tried it yet, but it looked and sounded delicious. IIRC, you fried the bacon, sauteed the onion and cabbage in the bacon grease and then added cooked noodles and the crumbled bacon and seasoned to taste.

11. I actually told my mom about this thread last night

because she likes cabbage and it used to just overwhelm me when she brought a head home -- a lot for two people who don't eat much.

12. I love cabbage just about any way you can fix it (except for sauerkraut). I made

cabbage rolls for the family a few weeks ago. My son in law looked rather dubious, but said he'd try one, although he was sure he wouldn't like it. When all was said and done, he had eaten three of the cabbage rolls.
