This is almost identical to the English compost recipes, except there
the vegetable content is specified pretty clearly (it's a mixture).
The recipe shows up in various forms in French, English, and German
sources (not to mention something pretty close in Apicius). It seems
like most often the vegetables so preserved are a mix, or beets,
carrots or cucumbers. Cabbage cut into squares, or even cauliflower
(assuming no issues with its region-specific periodicity) would also
be good. >>>
I seem to remember a lot more different vegetables than this,
especially more root vegetables, in the compost recipes.
