Vinegar on Cabbage?

[CraigC]

When I make a "boiled dinner" (cabbage potatoes and spare ribs) or corned beef and cabbage, I like to use some type of vinegar on the cabbage. Anyone else?

I never thought about it but I can imagine it adds a taste dimension. When you say 'boiled' do you mean the spare ribs are boiled?

It is something my German grandmother made. The ribs are the main flavoring. Sometimes she would add other meats and vegetables.

You need to try mint sauce added to cabbage, I steam cabbage and put mint sauce in before serving. It's another level. I make my own sauce, simple to make as well.

I often make corned beef n carrots. With cabbage and mustard sauce.

That sounds very good.

When I make an Asian cole slaw, I definitely use cabbage and vinegar (and no mayo).

That sounds interesting - what else is in it?
