cabbage patch - ???

[Gość: emka]

Does somebody know how to translate the name of American toys, "Cabbage Patch
Kids"? Is "cabbage patch" an idiom?
Thanks for any help

Kapuściana głowa?

cabbage patch is where babies are found - grzadka kapusty. czyli "cabbage patch
kids" - dzieciaki z grzadki kapusty

A patch is a scrap of land. So a cabbage patch is a scrap of land where cabbage
is grown. In Poland it is said that new babies are brought by a stork. But in
other countries people find their new kids in a cabbage patch :)

I don't think that these toys should have a Polish name. It's a trademark, like
Lego, Barbie, Transformers or Muppets. But if you like you can have a go
with "kapuściane dzieci" but it doesn't really make sense as nobody
says "bocianowe dzieci", right?

In Poland new babies are also found among cabbage leaves, believe me, that's
where I found mine ;-)
