This was tasty, we only used half a cabbage as this is all we had so halved everything else. I used streaky bacon as I think it needed a little of that smoky bacon fat to cut through the vinegar - next time I think I will use a little more bacon as opposed to having to cut back on the vinegar. Thanks for posting.
