       Title: French Cabbage Salad
  Categories: salads
       Yield: 8 servings
 
       1    cabbage, shredded
     1/4 lb bacon
       2 c  onion, chopped
       1    garlic clove, chopped
     1/2 c  white-wine tarragon vinegar
 
   Cut the bacon into tiny bits, fry it in a big deep frying pan, and fish out
   all the bits after they are crisp.  Cut up the onion and garlic and fry
   them in the bacon fat. When they are brown, pour in the vinegar.
 
   Bring it just up to a simmer, add all the cabbage and bacon, toss it as you
   would a salad, and serve it.  The cabbage doesn't cook, but it wilts a
   little under the hot vinegar.
 
   NOTES:
 
   *  Wilted cabbage salad with bacon -- This is a wonderful thing to do with
   cabbage.  With no garlic, and using cider vinegar, it becomes German
   cabbage salad. Adding sour cream to that makes Danish cabbage salad.
 
   *  Cut the vinegar with a little water if you don't like very sour things,
