Default I love BEETS!

Many of the "greens" are just crap leaves that slaves ate. They
got plantation leftovers and learned how to make all the scraps
work for meals. Some good "soul food" aka slave food though, I'll
admit.

I wonder if home gardeners actually plant mustard though. They
must have the faith of a mustard seed if they waste garden space
for that crap.

I'm kidding for you that don't understand "dry humor"

PS - Speaking of worthless leaves...KALE. Since the recent
discussion about kale, I actually bought a bunch and am going to
cook them today. No recipe this time, I'm going to use them in a
soup. That should work. I only bought some because I learned they
are a "super food" as far as nutrition goes. Hey, I'm willing to
try and learn something new.
