1 large head cabbage
1 can corned beef hash
Hollow cabbage from stem end, leaving about 1 inch thickness. Stuff cabbage with the corned beef hash. Using boiler that fits the cabbage head as nearly as possible, put 2 cups salted water and stuff cabbage. Cook until tender, covered with lid. Season to taste. Extra cabbage may be chopped and cooked at the same time on top of the corned beef or it may be used for slaw.

I love cabbage. I like it raw, I like it steamed, it is divine when stuffed with the proper fillings and slow-cooked in a light sauce. What I don't like is that this is an entire head stuffed with a can of... slop.
Then again, when you don't know what food should taste like, you eat cabbage stuffed with canned corned beef. And you love it.Poor Jamima never cooked in her life until she saw this on the back of the label. She fixed this every Thursday night for forty years. That is forty years too long, Jamima. Forty years too long.
Having eaten a lot of canned mystery meat in my life I have to say that this sounds yummy!

May as well have shit on a shingle while you're at it.
