Chou qui a été au collège

Chou qui a été au collège // Cabbage with a college education

The full quote looks like this:

La formation c’est tout. La pêche a commencé par être une amande amère; le chou-fleur n’est jamais qu’un chou qui a été au collège.
It is from Mark Twain (he was a funny guy if there ever was one) and the original is, obviously, in English:
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Now, the cat doesn’t like either cabbage or cauliflower, so it makes no difference to him. He is a bit perplexed as to what all the fuss is about.
