(US, dialectal) Red cabbage.
A German-derived dialectal US term for red cabbage, kept alive mainly in communities with strong German immigrant heritage — particularly in Pennsylvania Dutch country and parts of the Midwest. 'Rotkohl' is the standard German word for red cabbage ('rot' = red, 'kohl' = cabbage), but in American usage it often refers to the traditional sweet-and-sour braised red cabbage dish served alongside roast pork or schnitzel. Hearing it in the US means someone's granny probably came from Germany.
(Canada, especially western) cabbage rolls.
(US, countrified, uncommon) The unvarnished truth about something or someone, especially when stated to a person who does not want to hear or acknowledge it.
