Now definitely I could not eat the whole cabbage, but then it does shrink down alot.

I really like cabbage just for sauerkraut. A fantasy decadent sandwich is a Reuben sandwich. Or gourmet, interesting sausage with sauerkraut on side.
In coleslaw, cabbage rolls, it's ok. When it's in Chinese dishes, just find it's just a "filler" veggie. Doesn't excite me.
