3 August: Cabbage Not Just For Zombies

It is common knowledge that cabbage looks like brains.
In reality, this doesn't occur until you've delved a fair few levels down.
(The outermost leaves more resemble thick-leaved lettuce, swollen and stocky like a pregnant woman's ankles.)
But back to the skull innards.
It is also common knowledge that the most efficient lure for a zombie is a brain-ey looking cabbage.
Well, the most efficient would probably be a sticky brain itself, but we don't want to give it too much strength and endurance, do we?
The vegetarian zombies would eat up a cabbage in a heartbeat.
The veggieburger of the viscera world.

But cabbage is not only for the animated dead.
Werewolves and mummies savor their share of organs as well.
And witches, stewing eyes or newt and toes of frog, will welcome this Vitamin K-laden addition.
It is doubtful that vampires will convert so happily; cabbge is not quite as juicy as their typical fare.
An ogre, on the other hand, will instantly develop a kinship with it. As onions and ogres and the metaphorical brain are layered, so is the cabbage.
A vegetable more versatile than a lobotomized human, cabbage appeals to the wee beastie in us all.
Regardless of our preference in cutlery.
