No one likes everything and that ok. I dislike Kale and turnip greens
and Collards. It's possible Collard greens may have something to them
but they have been destroyed for me by too many insisting 'oh, you just
haven't had them done right' then insisting I try theirs which have
been used to sop vinegar up until it drips out almost. Ick.

It's sad but too many times of something fixed badly can destroy a
desire to even try something that may be good.

I've never had the chance to try them truely fresh. I can expect they
will be milder but wonderful.
