mon petit chou

So I was telling Jen how in French mon petit chou is a term of endearment. When I told her the direct translation was my little cabbage I asked her how that would make her feel if a guy called her that. Her response was, "Like a sexy piece or sauerkraut!" I laughed hysterically. Now I need to learn how to say that in French in case I ever get the opportunity to respond to such a statement.
