Default Any especially flavoursome cabbage, suitable for windy South Coast?

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.


Maybe you just need to grow giant sprouts. :-)
Have you tried eating sprout tops, btw? I've seen them suggested, but mine
always seem to be full of aphids or whitefly or something (or purple
spiders, as Daniel called them today!)
