Our 1st Filderkrauts

[gazza1960]

For a bit of fun we decided to have a go at growing some Filderkrauts with a view to "sauerkrauting"
the cabbages if they grew.





we cant believe how bloomin big the muthers have grown,only got 4 left from 12 that I planted
and having got a German Recipe for sauerkraut it should be fun to jar and munch on the
sauerkraut in a few months.

Aren't they amazing, we don't sauerkraut ours, we just eat them a bit at a time , lovely taste  ;D

[gazza1960]

thats interesting manicscousers,I didnt think of them as being "just another cabbage",but I guess
itll steam just as any other type.

They're that big, he pulls them up, roots and all, hangs them upside down in the garage and cuts a meal sized chunk at a time, takes a while to eat them  ;D

[cornykev]
