CABBAGE QUOTE
"The cabbage surpasses all other vegetables. If, at a banquet, you wish to dine a lot and enjoy your dinner, then eat as much cabbage as you wish, seasoned with vinegar, before dinner, and likewise after dinner eat some half-dozen leaves. It will make you feel as if you had not eaten, and you can drink as much as you like."
Cato (Marcus Porcius) 234-149 BC. Roman politician and general; he wrote the first history of Rome.
