                    @Viola I'd say half / half purple for the taste and green for the optical contrast. Although 1,5 lb is about only one cabbage so maybe make it twice as much ?
                    You can't ever have enough relish ^^

                            Some interesting recipes here, but 80 years isn't really old or a long time back. I personally know several people who are older! I expected to read something from centuries ago 😃

                                  Hmm, I don't know... all this modern cookery. It isn't even medieval.

                                  Mustacei

                                  Ingredients:
                                  500g wheat flour
                                  300ml grape juice (or young wine)
                                  2 tblsp anise seeds
                                  2 tblsp cumin seeds
                                  100g lard
                                  50g grated cheese (sheep's cheese would be best)
                                  ca. 20 bay leaves

                                  Instructions:
                                  Pour some must over the flour, add anise and cumin seeds, the lard and
                                  cheese. Work it together until you have a reasonable dough. Form
                                  rolls, then put one bay leaf under each of them.

                                  Bake 30-35 minutes at 180°C

                                  Note:
                                  It's better to make the must rolls with yeast dough, because then they
                                  can be kept longer, and they are not so hard. To make the yeast dough,
                                  add 40g yeast to the flour + grape juice, leave it a while until you
                                  continue like above.

                                            Have chops from rib cut rather thick. Pan broil for about 10 min. until nicely browned on both sides. Then put on top of each a heaping Tbsp. horseradish, cream, spread evenly with knife. Place a broiled mushroom cap on each chop. Place in hot oven for 2 min.

Then add cream & cook for 10 min. more, stirring to prevent lumping, add grated horseradish & cook 5 min. longer.
