I don’t think this is true, but there are very few dishes we eat that use them. They aren’t a large part of our culture or diet. Most people I’ve interacted with while having either like them though.
The people willing to have them love them, but they’re commonly perceived as poverty foods. No clue why. Cabbage wraps, cabbage salad, cabbage stew, roasted cabbage, cabbage-based stocks, purée of cabbage, pickled cabbage, sautéed cabbage, etc., I usually get sneering, but when I bring out the same dishes subbed with parsnips or celeriac, they’re culinary masterpieces. I chalk it up to Cold War propaganda gone haywire.
That could be why, yeah. It’d make sense. My family is from WV originally (I never lived there though), and “poverty foods” aren’t looked down on. Honestly, some of my favorite comfort foods are “poverty foods.”
Let’s eat a blood-red dish to celebrate a tyrants death of a country with red flags.
Recommend borsht btw.
America is terrified of cabbage, I’ve learned. Cabbage and beets

@[email protected], I sense a pattern.
The spirit of Ancient Cabbage Man haunts me
We have some amazing beet salads in the PNW!
Most everything with beets is delicious! It’s just exhausting to constantly encounter aversion to what delights me
I am also in the PNW and I disagree. But I just don’t like beets.
To be fair, beets are not very appetizing. Cabbage, though…
