--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                    2-lb cabbage head
                        -white pepper
   3                    -4 Tbsp mild vinegar
   1      sm            Pinch of sugar
   7                    Strips
                        -medium-lean bacon -- cut
                        -
                        -into small squares
                        -salt and freshly ground

Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the stem and tough outer leaves, and
grate coarsely.  Add the grated cabbage to 4 quarts of boiling salted water
and bring to a boil.  After 2 to 3 minutes, put in a colander to drain;
shake it dry; press out the (66 min left), (H)elp, More? remaining liquid.
While the cabbage is still lukewarm, put it into a salad bowl, sprinkle with
vinegar, and mix well.  Allow this to sit for several minutes.
Shortly before serving, cook the diced bacon until the fat has been rendered
and pour the entire contents of the skillet (fat and bacon) over the salad.
Season to taste with salt, white pepper, and a little sugar.
Makes 4 cups. (Note: If using red cabbage, add a Tbsp vinegar to the boiling
water before adding the shredded cabbage.  This will set the color of the
cabbage.  With red cabbage, many people prefer to substitute 1/3 cup salad
oil for the bacon, which should be sprinkled cold over the still lukewarm
(66 min left), (H)elp, More?         cabbage.) From: THE CUISINES OF GERMANY
