In a book or poem that was read to us as kids, there was a line that included this phrase: "...a loaf of bread, a cabbage head, and a can of Mulligan stew." We loved the rhythm of the phrase and it stuck with us. I can hardly say the phrase "cabbage head" without wanting to add "and a can of Mulligan stew!" Here, I'm holding a cabbage my older brother grew this fall.
I guess we'd have to round that out with a two-foot long loaf of bread and a number 10 can of Mulligan stew!
Wow, that is a NC head? Looks like some we saw in Alaska. I never heard the line, but it is catchy!!

Yes, that is a NC head, grown in Cabarrus County.
DeleteNow that's a big ol' head of cabbage.
