I know this is a dead thread, but I saw this guy on FoodTV over the
weekend say he would take one leaf from a head of cabbage and pay
for it by the pound that way.

I almost feel as if I made that up, because what does someone need
with one leaf of cabbage?

Leaving aside the business of how one would buy a single leaf of
cabbage, there are plenty of uses for one. I live in a 2-person
household and have in the past lived by myself. Buying small enough
portions to cook fresh at each meal is a challenge. I love stir fries
with several different vegetables-- onion, carrot, cabbage, mushrooms,
etc. Now imagine the quantities you'd need of each to make a single
portion. Living alone means wrapping a lot in plastic and freezing.
Those work, but they're still never as good as fresh.


No, I never bought a single leaf of cabbage, but it always crossed my
mind that it would be nice if I could.

If they are selling by weight, (and cabbage usually is sold by weight),
I don't see why you can't. :-)

I've found tho' that cabbage keeps for a LONG time in the refrigerator!
Of all the veggies I buy, it seems to last the longest. I also do a lot
of stir fry's and I prefer savoy cabbage.

Well... for some of us a mere fig leaf won't quite cover it.

Hey, I know that. I never get through a whole cabbage. That is the
problem with buying all the separate ingredients you would want for
a salad. Geez, talk about rotting produce, that's what the salad
bar is good for, I can get 'some' of certain ingredients, not a whole
bunch I will wind up throwing out.

But even I can get through more than ONE leaf of cabbage. Especially
as I usually throw out the outer leaves, they're scruffy.

Hey, go for it. (laugh) Wonder what the produce manager will think
of that. Report back.

Nah, I've said over and over that I LIKE my supermarket and drive an
extra mile out of my way to go to that one, skipping the closer two. I
can't risk getting thrown out.

I never thought of that. What an *idiot*! It just never occurred to me
to visit the <bleeping> salad bar to get the few cherry tomatoes I use
for a shishkebab, for instance. Or a few mushrooms for a salad. Or
whatever odds and ends they have to hand for a garnish. I am
definitely going to have to do a mental inventory of the market's
salad bar the next time I'm there.

Any worries about the "sneeze guard" and germs are trumped by my

(laughing) It only occurred to me when people were asking for just
some celery, whatever. I thought, I need to check out the salad bar.
Not a bad place to pick up some stuff.

To each their own, of course.

Well, I can think of one reason, if it is a savoy cabbage. If you have a
big enough leaf, you can wrap it around a filet of salmon, and poach it
in a bit of chardonnay.
