Title: boil that cabbage down

I was talking to fishpharmer Thursday, about a pot of cabbage I was making for myself, with smoked country sausage in it.   He said, "That sounds good.  I'm going to make me some too".

And, he did.

He worked at the filling station in Mayberry, as Gomer Pyle, on the Andy Griffith Show, before he went into the Marines.

No, that was Jim Nabors that was Gomer.

I like my cabbage fried in a skillet with the sausage and some onions but that looks mighty good too.

I found it!   I found it!   I knew I would if I kept lookin'.   Y'all forget all about that Gomer Pyle stuff I said before.  I found out why Bob Denver was on Andy Griffith.  You can read it too, if you look up "The Darling's" on google.

The Darlings were a mountain family, headed by Denver Pyle, that played the music.  They always showed up in Mayberry with some kind of problem that would put Andy to task.   The Boys in the family were really the members of the band, The Dillards.  Charlene, Maggie Peterson, was the sister and kept everyone on their toes.  She ended up Marrying and having a kid.  The original "husband" was replaced by Bob Denver when he was in between Doby Gillis and Gilliagan's Island. 

QuoteDudley A. "Dud" Wash — Charlene's fiance and later husband, Dud had served three years in the U.S. Army where he achieved the rank of Private First Class. He had been betrothed to Charlene since the age of five. Dud was originally portrayed by Hoke Howell as a well-mannered country boy. However, in Dud's final appearance, episode #121, "Divorce Mountain Style", Howell was curiously replaced by Bob Denver. Denver's portrayal was more along the lines of a wily, scrappy mountain man, akin to Ernest T. Bass, in contrast to Dud's original "good ol' boy" persona (though his irrational behavior could be attributed to his wife's attempting to leave him for Andy Taylor).

That piece of a paragraph came off of the Wikipedia article about the Darlings.

Now Tom, you know you ain't supposed to be eatin that sort of good stuff. Just go ahead and cheat a little now and then, we won't tell  ;D

It sure was good.  If I knew Tom was gonna post it on here I would have used a better pot and cleaned up the stove top. ;)

My ancestors would've called that "na kapustium" which is actually ukrainian for boiled cabbage.  :D  Looks like you got a good helping of kolbasa in there too.  Did you remember to put in sabooya and chusnic?   :D 

Brad.
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: fishpharmer on February 01, 2010, 10:25:24 AM
Kolwhatsa?  Just good old smoked deer sausage.  What's the difference between Kolbasa and regular smoked sausage?  (besides the name?).

There we go again.............learning something new on Forestry Forum.   8)
Na Kapustium.........very interesting.  Now I have a tough time getting my kids to eat "boiled Cabbage".   I'm not sure if your name is any more appealing. :D

I enjoyed the the "Boil Them Cabbage Down" video as much as Tom's cabbage recipe.

My daughter didn't know what Gilligan's Island was, nor Gilligan.  My wife watched it twice before I had to tell her that was Bob Denver.

Norm, I believe that's the prettiest thing I ever heard ;)

I'm not  a big cabbage fan, but the Andy Griffith Show is my alltime favorate.

The music episodes are at the top of the list, too.  With this one  as one of my favorates...

Kolbasa has garlic (chusnic) in it.  Around here they call it ukrainian sausage in the stores for the most part.  It is a bit different than the traditional kolbasa.  I am getting ready to make about 50 lbs of the good ol' traditional kolbasa.  Got the casings and grinder ready but waiting for a call to come butcher the hogs.  Sounds like we will be slaughtering 5 or 6 of em one of these days.  ;) 

Brad.

Now I must try some Kolbasa.  Maybe they have it in the grocery store.

If not, guess I will have to get some from you ;)
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: WH_Conley on February 03, 2010, 12:16:04 AM
Hey Fish, I have tried it from the store, don't waste your time. Had the good stuff once, can't go back.
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: Coon on February 03, 2010, 05:18:24 PM
You guys haven't tried the good stuff yet.  ;)  The good stuff will make your nose hairs curl before you even get it out of the packaging.  :D  Man o man do I ever wish I lived closer to you guys.  I don't think I would have time for wood because I'd be making kolbasa all the time. 

I will post some pics when we get everything kicked into high gear. 

fishpharmer,  around here it ain't a grocery store if they don't sell kolbasa.  ;)

This is a video of a Store I set up moments before a January 23rd Grand opening.
It'll never look this perfect again. :D
If you pause it on the 20 second mark you'll see a 4ft vertical set of Kielbasa/Smoked Sausage.  I counted at least 36 different varieties all though they are mostly from all the big players like Hillshire Farms, Oscar Mayer, Eckrich and Smithfield along with a few Mom and Pop brands.  There was at least 6 more varieties I didn't work into the set because of duplication.

OHHHHH MY!

If we had a store like that anywhere near me I'd live in it. ;D

I sometimes fry my cabbage, I like onion in it to. ;D I also make boiled dinner with cabbage in with the meat and other veggies. Oh course I make coleslaw to. I still can't figure out why restaurants are so darn mean with the coleslaw around here. The cheepest of cheep for vegetables to make it. You guys sure are something. I'm just glad I can cook. :D

Can we get a recipe to go along with the pics Coon? I like making sausage too and am always looking for a good recipe.
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: fishpharmer on February 04, 2010, 12:15:55 PM
Did you see the price of the snow crab legs?  $3.99 I have never seen them that low.  MH do they ship? :D ;D

Norm, I'm with you on the store.

SD,  I don't think I have ever seen fried cabbage either, maybe its like fried green tomatoes, a regional thing, show us some pics.  If any of you ever come visit and there is time we will go eat at Longs Fish Camp, all you can eat catfish and the best coleslaw ever.

LeeB and Coon someday I would like to learn how to make sausage myself, got a few projects in front of that though ;D

Publix is a great store!

I saw Toms cabbage dish here and couldn't get it out of my mind so I had to make some. This is my version of fried cabbage..........  Bad light and cell phone camera but it was good chewing!

Wasn't member Kevin_H a sausage maker? Seems it was he who would get together with a group and have a good time whipping it together.

I'm waiting for about 100# to get "finished" at the sausage maker's shop. Good reminder for me to call.
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down

We don't have Publix around here. :(

Bill what exactly have you got in there?

Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: LeeB on February 04, 2010, 04:09:59 PM
When I say "fried" it isn't really fried. You cook the sausage and onions in a skillet and then stir in the cabbage and more or less wilt it down in the skillet and the fats from the sausage. Artery choking stuff maybe, but it sure is good.
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down

I see Sausage, cabbage, corn and green onion tops I think.  What do you see fishpharmer?
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: SwampDonkey on February 04, 2010, 04:29:09 PM
I fry mine as a vegetable with onion to have with a meat and a baked tater. I fry them enough to carmelize slightly. I don't fry the meat in with it.

I see the same things as you, plus a dark bean looking ingredient.  Maybe lentils?

Looks like something for me to try :)

Y'all talking stir fry, I think in terms of deep fry ;D

Post by: Raider Bill on February 04, 2010, 05:07:22 PM
Onion and cabbage fried down in bacon grease, some left over corn, smoked sausage, small teaspoon of sugar, adobo and a can of black beans.

I put the beans in last. I was going to just have fried cabbage and sausage but then changed my mind.

I do mine about thedame as Bill but I never put all the extra stuff. I'll have to try it like that. Looks plum tasty.

fishpharmer, The snow crab clusters were on at the location only for that first week.  They are on sale this week everywhere for 5.99 lb.   They come in 30 lb cases if you want some. ;)

I can definately give you guys one of the recipes I use.  But the real question is how much do you like garlic?  The more you put in (up to a certain point) the better it is.  There is alot more to it than just making sausage too.  ;)  I am thinking that a tutorial will be in the works.  I know one thing for sure is that you need one specific variety of wood chips for the smoking process.  I am not exactly sure if this specific willow variety even grows where many of you peeps live.   I find that I have to really look to find it in my travels although I know where a motherload is growing. ;D

Brad.
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: LeeB on February 04, 2010, 09:04:54 PM
A tutorial would be fantastic. As for garlic, I can eat it all by itself. Good stuff. Now, about this willow, wood that be balck willow?
Title: Re: boil that cabbage down
Post by: Coon on February 05, 2010, 03:08:23 PM
nope it would not be.  It's called Diamond Willow but even more importantly it is the selection of the willow used.  I will get more into it as I get the tutorial started.  Will see how the weekend goes and maybe I will go willow hunting/harvesting.

Brad.

Just give us the recipe.  We will worry about the wood  ;D.

Bbbut it wouldn't taste the same.. ;)  Will get ya the recipe.....Warning...  once you try it you'll never be the same.  :D  Guess I gotta start looking through all the recipes I need to find it anyhow.  ;D

I usually fry up some bacon, put it aside & drain off and reserve 1/2 the grease(in case I need a little while frying) . Then I add shredded cabbage, onions and carrots fry it up then crumble the bacon back in We call it Kapusta

Were still waiting for that Kielbasa recipe
