fryed cabbage

[Blizzard of '93]

a good camp dish is chopped cabbage sauteed/fryed in the grease from bacon or fat back - all these keep well in cool weather w/out spoiling.
sprinkle w/a bit of coarse grind black pepper.
quite tasty and adds some leafy green to the camp diet.
if the pan has a lid covering the cooking cabbage hastens the process.

Back when "swamp cabbage" (hearts of Palm) were legal to eat- that was the standard drill- fry in bacon fat.

I add onions and garlic to mine.

I also make bubble and squeak, the modern version, for a hearty meal.
Mashed potatoes, chopped cooked cabbage, bacon or ham, salt and pepper fried in butter.

Legal? You can buy it at the grocery store.

Florida state tree :idunno: They were being whacked down as a commercial cash crop, so the state shut it down before the state tree was gone from the state.

You can still buy hears-of-palm at the store, even if you can't harvest the stuff in Florida. :grin:

They are quite tasty, and I like wrapping a thinned, boneless chicken breast around them and baking at 350º for 45 minutes, and serve with Hollandaise sauce.

with simmered dry beans/peas and corncakes is good, and maybe stewed game. makes a real meal.

Sorry, I meant legal to harvest. The only store type we have is in cans from south/centeral America.
