Hi Rosinenkind,

is this actually meant as a recipe for green gabbage and not (curly) kale? It looks very much like a recipe for the traditional German "Grünkohl" ...

Kind regards

Hello Plum_Pudding,

this is a dish/recipe from northern Germany, exactly from Nordfriesland and not typical for whole Germany. In Bremen for example they will cook it with Pinkel and not so sweet too. Pinkel is a special kind of sausage from Bremen.

Regards Rosinenkind

Hi Rosinenkind,

sorry, but you misunderstood my comment. I know pretty well what kind of dish you mean. But you will find that "green cabbage", which is so often used as translation for "Grünkohl" on German websites, will not necessarily mean the same kind of cabbage in the UK where it is more commonly known as kale or curly kale ("green cabbage" often refers to a quite different kind of cabbage, depending on region). It might help to add "kale" to your list of ingredients, at least as an alternative name for it.

Kind regards

Hi Rosinenkind
In the States, it's also called kale.

I use this recipe for all kinds of cabbage (white, pointed, curly kale) as a side dish - it just tastes nicer with Speck, spices and dripping or lard than the British "boiled" cabbage. I never used allspice as Rosenkind suggested (I use cumin instead) but I will try allspice next time.
Grünkohl - kurly cale - as a main dish I do slightly different though.
