I grew portugese cabbage last year, which are nice big flouncy things.
Tried red cabbage, but didn't get so much success.

But if you're not a big fan of cabbage, have you considered kale
instead? I like curly kale as it can be grown cut-and-come-again
style, but for taste I think my favourite is cavolo nero, which I tend
to harvest in one go.

(I'm also a big fan of pak choi and chinese leaf, which I use in a
similar
fashion to kale and cabbage, but I believe they are best sown in the
summer)

Yes - I'm not keen on anything with a flowery, leathery leaves, but like
the firm heard of a cabbage when chooped and boiled. I wish I know of one
with extra flavour. I like Brussels sprouts because of their flavour and
aroma. If I could find a cabbage with similar qualities, I'd be happy.
