gruenkohl is on our christmas table EVERY year! my mum puts a mix of porkbelly and salt beef in it. she also tends to cook it several times (give it a few days before christmas)...believe it or not but it tastes better!

grünkohl (green cabbage) is kinda the traditional german christmas dinner veg. i love it. my mum always puts gammon in it and we eat it together with red cabbage to goose and potatoe dumplings. i can't wait for christmas again. green cabbage taste much better when you prepare it one or two days before the dinner and put it out over night so it gets frost.
