Do 60kg cabbages taste nice?

I ask because my local farmers market was selling extra-large kohlrabis, which looked pretty. But when I bought it we discovered it was woody with unpleasant fibrous bits and not very nice to eat. So I wouldn't give an award to a kohlrabi on the grounds that it was large.
