Hot Slaw , Governor Lloyd Lowndes family

This sufficiently tasty but not outstandingly delicious recipe comes to us courtesy of the family of Governor Lloyd Lowndes, governor of Maryland from 1896 to 1900. Lowndes’ lineage can be traced back to an early Maryland merchant settler and beyond, but I can’t find much readily available about his governing. I’m sure that further research is possible but I don’t have a book deal or anything so…. you know.

Cabbage is a pretty ideal crop for Maryland

, and my books contain a variety of soups, slaws and meat dishes incorporating cabbage.

This one was a little different and exceptionally simple. I used red cabbage because it looks cool. The cabbage continued to cook itself too long and I may have ended up with more of a cooked cabbage dish than a ‘slaw,’ but as I said before it was palatable.

Sorry about the quality of the photos.
I’m as bad at photography as I am at cooking. At least I can sort of write?
