Original Text
Cabbages. AFTER you have taken off the outer leaves, and well washed them, quarter them, and boil them in plenty of water, with a handful of salt. When they are tender, drain them on a sieve, but I do not prefer them.—Savoys and greens must be boiled in the same manner, but always by themselves, by which means they will eat crisp, and be of a good colour.
