Default Where did the green cabbage go?

Is it just me or is the white, tasteless, sanitised lump of nothing
they call cabbage in the supermarkets these days really that bad, or
was the green much tastier and better for us?

And where did it disappear?


I don't know about cabbage but a couple of years ago I moved from East
Bershire to South Somerset. That meant going from being 10 minutes walk
from Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose to the nearest supermarket being
Morrisons a 5 mile drive (well, maybe one bus a day but timed for school so
makes for a long stay for a quick shop) away. Anyway, result is I now shop
in the local village and it's the meat that gets me. Pork, in particular,
actually tastes of pork. So my advice is not to change your supermarket so
much as change from a supermarket to an independent greengrocer, or a
farmers market or something of that ilk.
