Maybe it's my Russian roots, maybe it's a significantly delayed impact of having a Cabbage Patch Kid as a child, but I am seriously in love with cabbage these days. It's not just for summertime treats like cole slaw over a delicious pulled pork sandwich (though that is of course a wonderful iteration). Recently Xani and I enjoyed it raw over crispy fish tacos at Captain Larry's in Federal Hill. I enjoy a hearty helping of New Kraut (Ba-Tampte brand) on fabulous half-smoke Polish sausages that our parents procure for us. Seriously, these Manger's brand half-smokes are the best hot dog I've ever eaten.
