An American Irish dish which is a must for St. Patricks day celebrations. Cabbage has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years and domesticated for over 2,500 years. Although cabbage is often connected to the Irish, the Celts brought cabbage to Europe from Asia around 600 BC. Since cabbage grows well in cool climates, yields large harvests and stores well during winter, it soon became a major crop in Europe. The American head variety was developed during the Middle Ages by northern European farmers. It was French nanigator Jacques Cartier who brought cabbage to the Americas in 1536.
