Heresy! Throw food out? I'm not a huge neeps fan, but roasted and
seasoned, they were ok. Hey, even the teenager ate some. Raddichio
is no worse than lettuce as is. Broiled, as I tried last night, it is
a nice addition to a salad.

Now, collard greens are another matter. I tried those lightly
sauteed, boiled to death, and (foolishly) raw. Definitely an acquired
taste!

Thanks for the sweet potato suggestion. That sounds yummy.
