"The Roman legions travelled on cabbage and a pouch of grain, which they had to mill for themselves. This made them edgy and always on the lookout for better food. They still don't quite get the idea of pizza."
If somebody expected me to get by on cabbage, I'd be on the lookout for better food, too.
Any food is better than cabbage.
Particularly when confined to close quarters with others who have consumed similar quantities of this vegetable.....
I'd trade you a truckload of turnips for one cabbage, or two truckloads of lima beans.
But that's just me.
Never heard of boiled okra, haggis, or poi, have you?
