How do you do the cabbage? When I make it I put wedges of cabbage in the water with the corned beef once the meat is cooked. ie, turn meat off, pop in cabbage, pop lid on, make other veggies and white sauce and voila, all cooked and the corned beef way more tender for being left to sit off the boil for a wee while.<BR/><BR/>Just in case you were wondering.KPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124224647059797583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-36374238090694277482007-10-09T00:08:00.000-04:002007-10-09T00:08:00.000-04:00We eat a whole hell of a lot of meat ovah heah.

First I found out that a goats head is supposed to be placed on the table<BR/><BR/>"The head of a sheep (yes, really eaten in many Jewish cultures over the ages) represents the ram that was sacrificed by Abraham when God released him from having to give up Isaac. Eating any head sheep, fish or, for beef, maybe just the tongue also promotes the idea of being at the head in the world and not at the tail"<BR/><BR/>Then I found out you are allowed to use a head of lettuce to symbolize the goats head. (because really a goat head is gross)<BR/><BR/>not exactly a sacrifice, but close.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11980248848147600519noreply@blogger.com
