Swamp Cabbage

[newoldglory]

Well as long as your not cuttin them at the
courthouse square. or in the parking lot
at a hotel. it's not against the law.
don't forget to put about 3 peeled taters
in it. leave them alone while stirring.
they will draw all the bitter out.
DON'T eat them. or when you pull your britches
down before you can squat. it will look like
where a truck has spun mud all over the
bushes behind ya.
Good Eatin

Yep, I too have used potato, chunked up. They are dark when done and foul tasting just as you said. Even my girlfriend wouldn't eat them, that's all that was left after I was done

There is an old cowboy that told me a recipe swamp cabbage coleslaw .

It is anybody's regular slaw recipe but use shaved swamp cabbage instead and if you vinager and a little lemon juice it keep it from turning brown and the lemon juice itself cooks just slightly so it won't cause the gas like you would get if you eat RAW swamp cabbage ..............

As for the gas, cowboys like open range so it won't matter anyway!

I like lemon pepper and everglades cook down about ten minutes soft not mushy...While on the subject anyone build a good cabbage axe on here..

Yea cold steel makes one specifically for cabbage cutting but i use an estwing axe usually or if i ned more than 2 at a time i use a chainsaw because its faster and if you know what your doing you dont gum up the saw

You guys asked for something I never thought about for SA but I'm guessing most airboaters, or at least a lot of them, still carry axes, knives and saws on board. Might be worth another Topic in with the Guns Topics.

Illegal to cut cabbage?!?!?! I'd like to see them find a way to get me to stop what's the world coming to they might as well change Floridas name to newyork or some crap we need more true floridians in goverment postions

Hey, Hey now..I am from NY lol BUT You're right, most people here have misplaced concearns...
Anyway, long time Lover of Swamp Cabbage here and since I left the South I have to use "the canned" stuff..UGH but I make a stew of onions, garlic, cajun seasoning,tomatoes, veggie stock ... sometimes bacon .... yummy

Too many folks trying too hard to be rednecks. I prefer coleslaw from Publix.

Great video Jeff! I love to fry up some bacon, throw in some chopped onion, then cook the cabbage in with it! Simple, and tasty!

[Lwells]

JEFF, That was fantastic , and I was wishing I was there to eat with you. Your little girl was so cute and mannerly and I loved your place. Thanks, so much for providing me with this, you made an old mans day. :

Sorry but it is a protected tree. Its Florida's state tree. google Florida protected trees
but that being said i eat the shat out of them not sure how labelle's swamp cabbage fest.get by with it but they have it every year

[rick]

it is a protected tree.

Never thought about that...I promise I ain't ate any since it became a protected tree

I reckon developers & native Americans get a pass on that law

Just to be correct, the Sable Palm is NOT classified as a tree and any legislation that identifies it as such bears close scrutiny. ALL Palms are classified as a grass. Now, I have seen folks around here fined for not cutting their grass............,.,., Seems interesting to me. Grinn ! ! !
