"The entry for cabbage in the Larousse Gastronomique starts with the heavenly sentence: 'The cabbage seems to have been unknown to the Hebrews. It is not mentioned in the Bible. I love that - so French. Just the slightest note of disappointment with God; just the merest raised eyebrow and pursued Gallic lip. You can imagine a French chef in confession: 'Bless me Father for I have sinned — but I'm not the only one: God left cabbages out of the Bible.'" AA Gill - Table Talk
