Not exactly crunchy, but not soggy. Must have some 'bite' and not got to the watery stage. Sounds lovely. I am coming to tea!!!!

See, Dicky and I agree. Al Dente is "to the tooth" with "bite".

Mother is right. As much as crunchy cabbage is lovely, it is just not right cooked with bacon and cream. The texture would just be wrong. Don't forget lots of black pepper!!!

Pasta should be cooked 'al dente' and you don't eat that crunchy!!!

Don't you always cook cabbage for about three hours and add bicarbonate of soda to stop it from losing its lovely dark green colour? No? My grandmother always did ! Well, if not, al dente is the way.

Al Dente - tinks, your mother must be a dinosaur if she thinks it should be cooked al-soggy (That's the famous Syrian way of cooking cabbage(

Hi tinks. I cook it in the frying pan with the onions and bacon, and a splash of wine. Very hard to overcook it that way.
