Polish sausage, cabbage and noodles.

I grew up in a neighborhood where a lot of people were first or second generation Yugoslavian, and went to a Lutheran church were most people could still speak German. I remember seeing this recipe way back then, over 60 years ago but I never tired it. I thought cabbage and noodles would not taste good together.  Yesterday I saw this recipe again, had some cooked cabbage in the refrigerator, wanting something to do with it so I finally gave this recipe a try.  It turned out tasting just fine and it was easy to make.
