Can anyone post up a DANG!!!!!! good recipe for some swamp cabbage and sausage.

AINT GUNNA LIE got some palms that need to go and don't want to waste them.

is swamp cabbage the same as squaw cabbage?

 matt swamp cabbage it the root and lower stalk of a type of palm tree. its boiled to soften like standard store bout heads of cabbage. iv eatn it and enjoy it more than store cabbage, but im not able to get it here. iv made it by boiling it with crab n shrip boil, add red taters, corn and if i could get my hands on them, fresh crawfish.

Ill make some phone calls for ya.. it might take me a day or two.  ive never cooked it myself but some family members have.. 



Charles its made of the heart of a swamp cabbage/cabbage palm.. They are rampant here in S Fl.  Usually kills the palm though, i have seen one or two start to grow again (but thats out of literally hundreds).  you can always tell when Labelle is having their festival, you start seein trees cut in half..

 thanks for the correction. my great uncle lived in perry fl and always went down there in the summer till i was bout 14 and we always would harvest some palms, strip the trunk down and boil it, roots and all.

Never tried the roots.  ive cut my fair share, but never stripped them.. i was always told bout a foot up or so..  Dont ask me why...  all i did was cut them and when it hit the ground i went to the next til i was told to stop..

about 6-12" of the truck is all we would use. the roots are like any other root type veggi. it all cooks bout the same.

I missed the swamp cabbage festival in Labelle this year (well the past 7 to be exact) because of work.. Sent the ole lady out there told her gator tail, swamp cabbage fritters, big thing of swamp cabbage and some indian bread..

I got....Indian Bread  :'( :'( :'( :'(

 well i cant comment on your wife, but atleast you got the bread. mine woulda forgot everything

HAHA.. Sad part was she didnt forget.. She just decided to wait til the last minute to head out, even though i "reminded" her once or twice, and by the time she got her butt there, wasnt nothin left..
