My summer savoy have done me proud this year! i am really thrilled to bit's with them, they look fab! until it come to cooking them that is. The smell once in the pan were like rotting slugs!
. I have done a bit o research and have found out about how cabbages naturally contain sulfur that is released when cooking, an although the taste is much better than the smell, but it is still putting me off when eating them because by that time the smell is stuck up my nostrils an it's all a bit yucky. One o the old guy's up the Lottie Say's that this is because savoy is a winter cabbage an if grown in the summer they produce more sulfur. Though mine were labeled on the seed pack as 'summer savoy an i followed the sowing instructions.
My question is....has any one else encountered this, because the shop purchased cabbages do not stink this bad, an do you have any recommendations for cabbage verities that don't have such a high sulfur content. My winter greens that that i purchased as plug plants were as bad an i ended up composting them. Could it be my allotment? My allotment had not been cultivated for 15 years an were just a massive bramble patch an couch grass , this is the first year it has been cultivated in 15 years. I used organic chicken manure an fish blood an bone as fertilizers for it's first year. What cabbage verities do you recommend that contain less sulfur an dont have a half taste o rotting slugs when cooked?
