Chou, cabbage. This is also a cute word you can use in French for people you are familiar with like your children or your boyfriend, like you are petit chou, you are a small cabbage. You little cabbage.
Cabbage doesn’t smell really good. Le chou, ça ne sent pas très bon. You have fields and fields of cabbage in some places and when you go through the car smells, avoid them.
3. navet
Navet, Turnip. Turnip is an old vegetable. Le navet est un vieux légume. Which is why you can find it in a lot of old French recipes from the middle ages because we didn’t have potato at that time, so we used Turnip for almost everything.
