My hispi cabbage were slow to get going but at last they are of an edible size, not so the taste. I steamed the sliced cabbage but it was so bitter we couldn't eat. As i still have a few left to harvest I'm a bit reluctant to cook. Any ideas please.

Several possibilities,
Grew to slowly, lack of nutrients or poor light.
Left it to long before harvest.
Lack of water (not likely this year).
Other grapes will have more suggestions.

funny old season this,i put some wheelers imperial in end of last year,ti's only the last couple of months they had any havestable leave's,what with cold wet and slugs,cut of 2 tiny heads to make a meal,and they very tough,so now they will end up on the compost heap,for now they can stay put,it looks better to have something there other than weeds or bare ground,sigpicAnother nutter ,wife,mother, nan and nanan,love my growing places,seed collection and sharing,also one of these

Would it help if you made soup with it or something? I know steaming is very healthy, but it does give a much stronger flavour than killing the veg completely by boiling and generally over-cooking it . Might be worth a try. Or saurkraut! If you like pickled cabbage... I don't, but I know it's very popular amongst its supporters .sigpicGardening in France rocks!
