[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

I don't have anything useful to add, but I notice that it's similar to
the cabbage recipe (ok, it's more of a serving suggestion) in the
Domostroi, which involves groats. I only notice it because I've been
working on that recipe this winter.

> The recipe is:
> VI. To cook cabbage
> There is no need to write much about it, every farmer’s wife knows how. And often at
> a farmer’s you will taste a better cabbage than in the noble’s kitchen. However this is
> how a cabbage is cooked: Put water and oats on the fire with a red onion or two
> finely chopped. Let it seethe until it is nice and smooth. Chop the cabbage finely, the
> finer the better it will be. When the sauce is smooth then put the cabbage into it and
> let it seethe until it is soft. Then put butter in: but if you want it with lard then grind
> the lard finely first and let it seethe with the oats.
