IMO, kale is such a worthless leafy vegetable. No need to buy
that these days.

When I was a child, local farmers grew it for cattle food. I always
associate it with that.

I saw a package along with the salad stuff Kaleslaw. I cannot imagine
it. Not sure if it was all kale or a blend, I'm not interested.

Kale is much touted as a "superfood". Right now kale is trendy. That
also means it costs more than it should. There are plenty of other
green leafy vegetables that offer excellent nutritional value and (to
me) taste much better.

Crazy. It's originally a very humble, cheap vegetable.

kale is another food that I knew I was going to love. Not so. I
tried it many years ago when I first started gardening and I have
tried it several times during the last couple of years. Kale and me
are just not meant to be.

We like it.

Ed, I am with you. No matter what I have done with it, the bitterness always comes through.
It might be edible if battered and fried, but I haven't wanted to waste the time and ingredients
to try that.

Well, seeing as how we here have vitamin deficiencies for various reasons,
we are gonna eat it while it's in season.

Are you now saying your gardener ("we here") has the same vitamin
deficiencies as you? You seem to cook a lot of brown rice. I hope you
realize even *brown* rice doesn't have a lot of nutritional value.

No. We don't necessarily have the same. Although we both need more B
vitamins, I need iron and he needs D.

And nonsense on the brown rice.

I do not serve brown rice for dinner every night. But I do make it for him
about 4-5 times a week. We eat a lot of vegetables, including raw ones.
