What do you think of my CABBAGES

AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I CUT THE HEART OUT OF THE CABBAGE

>based thread in the making
Lets goooooooo

>>21563290
Welcome and strap the FRICK in
This is a very INVOLVED meal, so I've got a cornucopia of pics and gifs. Might not post everything today desu idk

>>21563277 (OP)
I just want to know if it's crammable

>>21563306
Oh, it's pretty cramable, bro
Atleast in my opinion

Are you Polish?

Once the heart is mostly out, it's time to boil these bitches

with every photo i opened so far i felt a little bit poorer

>>21563311
No
Romanian
But one of my favorite video games is by polish devs (against the storm)

The LEAFS will start to come off one by one as the soften. Provided the heart/stem was cut out properly

>>21563316
Because you're not as wealthy as me? No need to be upset anon

>>21563321
>Romanian
Ahh, that explains the swarthy Turk hands. Good thread btw. Please go on.

They should be soft and maleable but not too soft so they rip apart too easily
Roughly 3m of boiling after they've come off of the whole

>>21563340
Do I look swarthy to you motherfucker?
I impale filthy roaches on spikes like my ancestors did

Uh oh this cabbage was a little BROWN on the inside
BROWNoid detected
Set phasers to KILL

Second head
Anyone remember the cabbage patch just south of Valinor(?) in runescape you could teleport to with that ring ?

>>21563345
in my experience the only people that use this word are actually retarded, dont mind him hes prob indian or something

You dont have to spin it
But I do it anyway

Green

>>21563369
Supergreen

Cover them!

What a lovely leaf
Look at those veins

Looking good anon. If I have to guess, you are going to make some cabbage rolls with some filling, meat probably.

Dont forget to give your leafs a good pat so they know you appreciate them

>>21563383
Are you clairvoyant??

It's easier to keep track of if you remove the leaves and keep them all on one side, this way you know the ones further out have been off the whole for longer and should come out first

These are some high quality leaves man
Love this color
It's a shame most of the leaves that are on the inside are more of a beige

I got quite a bit closer to the core than I needed to. I felt cheated of of some leaves on the first one that were BROWN and useless, so I went overboard with the second. These leaves are still useable, but they (spoiler alert) won't be used because I'll run out of meat for the better ones first

Two whole cabbage head's worth of LEAFS

This nigga eatin leaves

>>21563310
How well does that work as a fleshlite?

>>21563345
Not in that pic but in the earlier ones you looked a bit like a swarthy Balkan. Like a Bulgarian. Its the yellow lighting in your kitchen.

>>21563491
It's cause I get tan on the tops of my forearms when going outside
But my underforearms are white as milk because I usually stay inside and when I do go outside my arms are facing down

>>21563498
Don’t walk like this?

>>21563506
Do you*

>>21563315
i wish this looped better
>>21563358
i’m pretty sure you mean varrock. gielinor is the name of the world

>>21563506
Not as cool desu
>>21563514
Falidor, I think.
Varrock is to the east of it.
North of Lumbridge
I think the cabbage patch is between falidor and draynor village??

Cut off the bottoms, cut each leaf down the middle, cutting out the spine. It wont be able to fold with that spine in the way

Each leaf becomes TWO leaf, effectively DOUBLING your leaf count!
(This is an insane protip lifehack for the kitchen. You literally get double the value by doing this!)

>>21563553
oh ya the explorers ring give you a tp next to the farming patch in falador you r correct my good sir

Green

For the smaller leaves that you dont cut in half, you can slice off the stem like so so it doesn't get in the way later

Beautiful

All done for now
I'll post the rest tomorrow over the course of the day
I actually make this meal over the a 3 day period. Not because it needs to sit that long or anything, just because it takes a long time to do each step, so it's easier to split up the process

>44 posts to prep cabbage rolls
there better be some shit that knocks my socks off tomorrow OP

>>21563277 (OP)
Very poor quality and not fresh at all. Yet another poverty thread.
>>21563290
Your thread failed so hard that you had to reply to your own thread. I refuse to believe that anyone is enough of an NPC to get hyped about a low effort cabbage thread. Nobody is this lame.
>>21563287
That is not even close to how this is done. Do you have arthritis or are you legit retarded?
>>21563296
>desu
I hate when pretentious hipster faggots make a fool out of themselves by using Asian terms they don't understand the meaning of and use it improperly. Anime was a mistake. It has created a whole generation of weak beta males like this.

>>21563340
Jesus Christ stop replying to your own thread. It's getting really sad. Imagine being so poor you eat cabbage as a meal. They should IP ban everyone from poor countries because all the cook along threads are extremely embarrassing.

>>21563906
>>21563903
Get off the internet bro.

i hate cabbages. they suck raw, but cooking them to add to other dishes, like stir fry for example, adds absolutely 0 flavor.

their very existence pisses me off as well because i will occasionally buy one at the store, mistaking it for a head of lettuce, and be stuck with a useless ball of bitter garbage instead of the tasteless water vegetable i wanted.

sauerkraut is the only redeemable application

>>21563941
Cabbagelet.

>>21563944
say that to my face not online and see what happens

>>21563326
bosh, that.

I can't tell if you're the usual faggot that shows up to shit on my threads, but youre wrong about everything you said btw
Neither of the posts you pointed out were my own self-(You)'s. I live in America and am not poor
You should seriously take a look at your life and ask yourself why you are the way that you are

Well it is tomorrow I guess
Woke up at 3:30 cause I went to bed early and I won't be able to go back to sleep so I guess I'll post some more now

Naked onions
Lewd

Oh my God.
What have I done?
I'VE KILLED THEM
I'M SO SORRY ONIONS

Fried in pork fat until lightly brown

Garlic ready to drop in, lads

I fucking love the smell of onions cooked in butter or fat
Even more when you add in the garlic towards the end
Smells so damn good bros

Meanwhile, it's time to wash a cup of rice

Get all that starch off or whatever

2 whole pounds of ground pork
You can make this with any ground meat desu
We've had it with half beef, half pork before, but my parents are not too into it
My cousin told me he had these with buffalo meat. Sounds intresting. You could probably make it with anything, really. Maybe not even meat??

Rice, meet meat

It's time

Oh yeah
That's the good shit right there

Absolutely perfect

Onions&garlic, meet meat and rice

>the parsley is fresh-frozen, chef?
>>what?
>we get it fresh and then we freeze it

Using alot of herbs and spices for this
If these arent overseasoned, all of the taste will just boil out of them and they'll be bland. Cabbage already has no taste, and the ground pork loses alot of flavor from boiling as opposed to frying for a burger or for something else
I'm using
>salt
>black and lemon pepper
>a touch of cayen
>a ton of paprika
>vegeta
>rosemary, thyme, and parsley

Just doomp it all in

A spash of water

A dash of olive oil

Have a taste, anon!

It was actually a tad bit overseasoned, so I took some of the seasoning out here

My meatchild...
He's beautiful...

>>21564216
H-how?!?

>>21564184
Did you not boil it?

>>21564219
Cum in it for extra protein

i hope my internet friends I dont actually know like my quirky chungus cabbage thread, ill be sure to use anime pictures so they can identify me ^_^;;~~
Uwu, narwhals!

>This is a very INVOLVED meal, so I've got a cornucopia of pics and gifs. Might not post everything today desu idk
is your reading comprehension this bad that you can't grasp he ALREADY cooked and is posting the pictures he took?

I must admit, I vastly prefer sarmale with pickled cabbage leaves over the fresh ones.
OTOH fresh grapevine leaves work in sarmale as well as the pickled ones, since they are naturally tart.

>>21564849
Never even heard of such a thing
>>21564810
Sorry
Will start posting again soon, but I've gotta finish up this chickuh puh pieh today
>>21564520
This but unironically
>>21564405
The rice gets boiled when the whole thing does. Why would I pre-boil it?
>inb4 b-buh you boiled the cabbage
That's because it needs to be folded together. Why don't I just preboil the meat while I'm at it if I'm gonna preboil the rice. Maybe preboil the spices and herbs, too??

>>21564631
Carraway is for later. He will have his HERO moment

>The rice gets boiled when the whole thing does.
Nice, I didn't know that.
Thanks!

Chickuh puh pieh is in the oven
I have returned

Giving the saurkraut a quick wash
If you dont, it'll be TOO sour. If you wash it too much, it'll lose ALL sourness, so you gotta be careful. I wash it for like 30s total or something, idk I just taste it to make sure it's like middle-sour

Not under running water the whole time, just splash it in and squeeze out the water

It's time

Roll the cabbage leaf over the cabbage meat to make a roll over of make when roll the meat and the and the rolling for the leaf to make me love you there's nothing more to say to make me feel this way to make me love you I can't hear what words can't say damn I can't believe they just ended this song and album with a 4m long outtro of just waves crashing on a beach that's kino as fuck bro anyways you roll the cabbages to make cabbage rolls filled with meat and rice and onions and seasonings and love

You know what I mean?

If this were another board this would be spoilered for being too lewd

This part is really fun ngl
But it does take a long time

>>21564825
>is your reading comprehension this bad that you can't grasp he ALREADY cooked and is posting the pictures he took?
yes

CABBAGE ROLL

>>21565109
It's okay anon
I'm retarded too sometimes

There is a more advanced method where you do it all in your palm instead of on the cuttingboard, but I'm not skilled be enough to do this. Legend says it's faster and only the most experienced grandmas from the eastern bloc and Mediterranean area know this forbidden technique

Again
I frickin LOVE the green leafs. Such a shame the whole cabbage isn't this beautiful color

Look at this
It's like an emerald
Or olivine

Funfact
When I was a STUPID and RETARDED little kid, I didn't like this food and my parents had to pay me a dollar to eat it
Now it's one of my favorite lol

Dutch oven

Bottom layer is actually the heart of the cabbage chopped up. This is just so the cabbage rolls don't sit on the bottom and get direct heat from the burner. This part doesn't get eated (you can if you want, I guess)

Also tossing in some fresh-frozen bell pepper pieces for the taste. If I had fresh ones I would just toss a few slices down there instead
But this is what we're working with

>>21565132
Bro you still retarded. Smart you would pretend to still hate it and get paid monnies to eat your fav food.
Real megamind tip.

>>21565147
Damn ur so right cuddle buddy

Some more paprika between the layers

CARAWAY SNEEDS
IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE

I put the green ones up at the top so I can eat them first

My cabbagemeatchild...
He's beautiful

Saurkraut atop
Protip, btw, you can put slices of bacon or ham between the layers to gave an enhanced taste. Especially when you put ham, you can toss a whole big chunk in there and get a side dish of ham out of the same pot! Very cool.
This time I only had bacon and it needed to defrost, so I put it just under the saurkraut the next morning instead of between the layers

This saurkraut has carrots in it
If you make your own saurkraut, feel free to add diced or juuulieeened carrots into the mix as it's part of the flavor of the dish, like the bellpeppers, and gives a nice spot of color to an otherwise mostly beige/brown meal. Similar to the occasional green leafs and the parsley im gonna add on top uh oh spoiler

>>21565186
Quick question:
Di you add tomatoes as well?
I think I recently read that Polish cabbage rolls are often made with a tomato sauce.

So that went in the fridge overnight
Dunno if it matters for the taste. Some things taste better if you let them sit, like marinating or whatever, but I don't think this counts as that. This whole proccess from prep to plate is like 6h of time, which is why I spit it over 3 days, with the last day just being the boiling. It's not all work, as once it boils you dont have to do anything but check it occasionally, but still. It's a long time

>>21565193
Glad you asked my friend
Yes I do indeed
Just a can of tomato sauce
You can probably make your own sauce, but I've never done that. You can also probably just add fresh tomatos and they'll turn into a sauce as they boil? Idk how tomato sauce is made, I think you just boil tomatos. I should probably learn

About 1 and 1/2 liters of water, or enough to just cover everything in the pot

Lastly, some more parsley
The two things I forgot to add were dill, which my mom added as she was keeping an eye on the pot since she was in the living room watching Romanian life and travel vloggers and various baking channels where Serbian and Hungarian grandmas make baked goods like cozonac and whatever else she watches idk I was playing video games

And the other thing I forgot was bayleaf at the bottom of the pot
But that doesn't fucking do anything anyways, so whatever

It takes about half an hour to reach boiling, then about 2h after that for it to be done. All over med-low heat. You want a gentle boil, not a going crazy fuckin bubbles everywhere boil like when you do pasta

And it's done!!!

>>21565223
Hey, that wasn't two hours!

That's Romanian SARMALE
It's one of my favorites and a staple of my culture
I'm sure many places around the region have a similar meal, afterall, it's literally just meat, rice, and onions rolled in cabbage leaves and boiled with more cabbage. It's fun to make! Often made around the holidays or special occasion.
Give it a try sometime, anons

>>21565225
I am a time-wizard

Oh, and served with sour cream, my beloved
Wako loves it!

Damn
DAMN that looks good
Damn that's good

It's also often served alongside freshly baked homemade bread, and I intended to do just that on the day that I boiled them, infact part of the reason why you'd put them to boil the next day is because it would take about 2.5h for bread to finish in time, too. So if you start bread making about an hour before you set to boil, you'll have sarmale served with fresh, settled, yet still warm bread. Absolute strawberry heaven. But alas, I woke up lazy and it was quite hot that day to turn on the oven and there was already some good storebought bread from some polish deli still in the freezer from earlier in the week, so I did not make bread
But thank you all for coming to my thread and I hope you've enjoyed yourselves!
See you in the next one bois

Just think, in a few months there is a non zero chance that the cabbage you eat will have been picked by Johnny Somali

>>21563903

Back to xitter/reddit newfag. This thread is retarded but I appreciate his enthusiasm for cooking a fucking cabbage.

>>21566375
The knife is fine

Looks delish romanian anon. I would partake in this feast.

What do you fags think of my new pan?

>>21567965
>non stick
yikes

>>21567965
I think you need to get laid.

>>21567973
It's stainless steel
Not non-stick

cabbages are awesome
it's a shame that the only premade pickled cabbage in US is sauerkraut, which is a watery bullshit you can't eat on your own (designed to be a condiment), or kimchi, which is spicy for no reason

>>21565233
Very based thread. I especially appreciate the .gifs. Even using .gif at all is a nice throwback

ur fat and ugly. please kill yourself at the next possible time. thanks.

>>21565233
looking mighty fine. this also reminds me that I was going to check if the grapevine leaves in my garden are good for eating and stuffing.

I see that you didn't bother with the ice-water bath to stop the cooking processing when dissecting the cabbage. do you think that's a superfluous step?

>>21568091
Sounds like you can corner the market anon

>>21568239
I was never taught to do that by my mom, who has been making this food all her life. It's probably a pointless step imo

>>21568412
well your leaves look very nice and bright, so it does seem like that.

>>21567965
cheaper than getting a stove from current century eh?

>>21563321
I've had sex with half a dozen of your women. They're absolutely great.

I’m going to make stuffed cabbage leaves when the weather decisively turns to autumn. Never had them before. Are they good?

>>21567977
Cheflet detected.

>>21567965
The wooden handle is pretty cool

>>21568772
Yeah, they're delicious
It's literally just seasoned meat and rice
Inside cabbage
What's not to like?

>>21568779
I don't think it's actual wood, I think it just looks like wood, idk. Doesn't feel like wood

>>21567965
Are you that one anon with the disgusting stove?
If so, holy shit you did good job cleaning it.

I decided to follow your recipe OP. I made two additions: half water & half chicken broth to cook the cabbage rolls in, and I added some cinnamon to the spice mix. They turned out really well, and I especially liked the saurkraut-tomato-bacon soup as a side to the rolls.

In the future I will make sure to add even more spices, I did use quite a lot, but it still ended up being somewhat watered out into the soup as you warned. I also undercooked the cabbage heads, so some of the leaves were difficult to roll up properly. Overall quite happy with the result.

>>21569551
Pic related

>>21569519
I don't think so? I've made many threads and no one has ever called my stove disgusting as far as I can remember. It gets cleaned pretty often. I live in a very orderly house

>>21569566
>>21569551
Very happy you decided to do it anon! They loom great, would cram
Half chickenstock sounds like a neat addition, though I question the use of cinnamon. Maybe I just don't use it enough as a general spice, but I always associate it with sweet things. Never add it to savory
Yes the leaves can be quite troublesome if not boiled enough, but imo it's better for them to be on that side than too boiled. If they're too boiled they'll rip apart super easy when you roll them

>>21568122
Thanks bro
Yeah I just do it cause it's easy to make them on my phone, the video player can make gifs up to 6s and usually they're under 4mb, with just hitting one button
>>21567914
Thank you, I would gladly have a seat for you at my table

>>21565155
Based gif poster, I love seeing your technique

>>21569741
I think cinnamon really shines in savoury dishes like this, it adds a lot of aroma and some deeper nuances. They use cinnamon a lot in north african cooking, both for stews, meat and rice, it is criminally underused elsewhere.

>>21566498
If you're special needs or have some sort of nerve issue that gives you severe hand tremors.. sure.

>9 dollar petty knife from victorionox is a scam
I have like 5. I bought a pack of three for 12 bucks and people gave me some. They're the only knife I've ever seen that can get razor sharp on a pull through sharpener.

>>21563277 (OP)
dude what if i boil cabbage before making it into sour cabbage, and use some fresh leaves as bacterial starter in order to get the softest sauerkraut ever? :thinking:

>>21571162
Think it
Dream it
Do it

I hate your cabbage so much.

>>21569741
>>21570282
I can concur. It adds a bit of depth to stews and curries and provides some heat when roasted. I like it in my chili, too. A little bit goes a long way, though. It can be an overpowering spice.

>>21571430

i'm damaged by that game just having a good gameplay loop, no more death by logistics end city builder
just glorious lizard/crowpeople settlements with lots of help from marketplaces

That said I don't like cabbage focused dishes and a large part of eastern europe dishes are inaccessible to me because of that. It's just a fucking fibre filler ingredient. Closest thing to acceptable are the wraps but why not wrap in something flavorful like grapeleaf or something more digestible like ricepaper.

>>21572765
Fellow Shitty friendo?

>>21563277 (OP)
Now that you've eaten and thoroughly enjoyed your CABBAGES, I should tell you that I came in them (both of them)

>>21577422
My bröther I have 1325h logged in AtS. Probably a good hundred is the game still launched while I was eating lunch or something, but still. I've done something like 3 complete runs all the way through adamantine seal, not including 2 runs that were done before those updates where I just reached the end of the progression and tech tree
Just a few days ago I finally got the "feeling lucky" achievement to round out my perfection of the game. Only after did I learn that there are, as of now, THIRTEEN HIDDEN DEEDS that you can try to do for cosmetic rewards. Fucking hell man. I only knew about one of them because of a devlog. After looking into them, I decided to try a few as I had 2 more days before Silksong came out (now about 10h remain). I actually managed to get about half of them, granted they were the easier half to do, but it felt pretty good, though, very sloppy. My last settlement was an attempt at "feeling very lucky" which asks you to pull both the homestead and the rainpunk foundry in one game from expeditions. This is mostly random chance, BUT there are several things you can do to improve your odds. I did virtually everything within my power to help
>fucked around and stockpiled 28 reserve embarkation points to use on all the blueprints
>waited until I cleared every rep reward blueprint
>always chose orders that granted blueprints
>waited for cornerstone rerolls yearly to try and get the smuggler or faster trader arrival, etc.
>take frogs and get the zealous architects cornerstone, which grants you 4 random blueprints for 20 fully upgraded houses
>bought every blueprint I could find from traders
In the end, I managed to get the homestead and then a 1/10 chance for the foundry, which failed. There is very little I could have done very very little more to increase my odds further. Infact, this was a GOOD run with great luck up until the end. The one thing I missed out on were smuggler visits, especially the stormforged.
Alas, I am 100% not enough

>>21570287
Yes theyre worth 2 dollars. They're made from soft ass steel. Pull through sharpener users fall for all sorts of scams. One of those scams is buying a pull through sharpener instead of a stone or diamond plate.
