The last time I worked with the Bay Ridge Food Coop’s distribution, I was stocking the produce and made an off comment that I didn’t like cabbage. I was working with two other members and both their heads turned. “How can you not like cabbage?…It’s so healthy?…I love cabbage…I guess you’re not very Eastern European” was some of the feedback that shot back. I sheepishly told them I was 100% Polish but quickly jumped to defend myself claiming my family had a tendency to cook things to mush, especially green stuff like cabbage and it just wasn’t appealing. “Well, that doesn’t mean you have to cook it that way”, a member said. And I immediately knew she was absolutely right. So that’s how I got shamed into buying a head of cabbage.
