Update on the 'cabbage'. We just ate a few caramelised in butter and sugar then braised with OJ and soy sauce. Still MEGA bitter. Really, really bitter - more bitter than radicchio and I think only cooking them that way made them bearable.
Other half (who knows about cooking but not plants) thinks therefore that they were some variety of chicory or endive. Interesting culinary experience anyway.
