I think we should respect what the OP has said. For whatever reason, and it is not for us to question, they would like ready sliced red cabbage.

You mention flat mates OP, would they be able to help you or do you have a regular visitor or family who could help?

Muscle food seem to sell it

I'm glad you were able to help OP.


I didn't think I was disrespectful.


I also think it's perfectly normal to question why various potential solutions aren't suitable in order to better understand how to help.

I don't think he was necessarily saying it was disrespectful.. Nor was he mentioning any one particular person.

He was talking about giving respect to a question, which tends to just mean answering the question that is asked, rather than answering something else. So respecting a question is not so much a personal thing.

In the absence of an answer,it can make sense in some situations, to suggest a workaround rather than an answer, if one doesn't know an answer, and says so and doesn't try to frame the workaround as an answer. Some may wait a bit and if it doesn't get an answer then they may say they don't know and suggest the workaround, framed as a workaround, that'd be an example of respecting a question, whereas if somebody were to reply saying "get a knife" that'd be not really respecting the question. But either way the concept of respecting a question isn't really a personal thing. There's always great value in not so much "helping", but answering the question, and that often helps most , and is often what the person asking is looking for. And even if a direct answer turns out to not be what they're looking for and they were asking the wrong question then they could always ask another question which is what they are looking for. And musclefood's answer is spot on and best, respecting the question in the sense of giving a direct answer, and a good one.

Risking being disrespectful, it's a shame you didn't go into such a lengthy explanation in your original posts.
I assumed the 'mentoring ' was for me as it follows my post.
Enough said.

Providing you already shop there or can find other things worth ordering making up your minimum order price.

Otherwise, knowing that it's relatively simple to chop and can be frozen are probably far more valuable and money saving pieces of advice.

Hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to find someone happy to accept the fiver it would cost for delivery from musclefoods to spend 10 minutes chopping up a couple of cabbages for you to freeze in portions.

£1.50 for 500g plus postage. That's roughly half a cabbage. A whole cabbage costs around 60p.

The alternative suggestions are helpful. The Musclefood option is a rip off.

Thanks.. that's a great point about the cabbage being a lot more expensive at that link. I like all the suggestions.. too. At this stage i'm not too worried about getting ripped off over a red cabbage, as in terms of food and me getting ripped off, I get ripped off far worse on some other food items but that's a different problem that I need to look into. But i'm certainly bearing it in mind re the other suggestions re the cabbage.

What maman said!

Use a knife and within a few minutes you'll get the hang of chopping it the way you want it.

Or perhaps not hence the OP.
