    No kale for me. Tried it numerous ways, still don't like it. I'll stick to spinach, raw by preference, in spanakopita if not.

    I don't trust any food that has to be 'massaged' to be edible
    Kobe beef?!? And they chant to the lads.....

    I think beef is pretty edible even not massaged.

    True. Not sure anyone is speaking or chanting around the grass fed/non-grass fed cattle I consume.

    I kale but only because we get one of those organic farmboxes and sometimes it has kale in it. I like to saute it with red onion and mushroom with a little garlic olive oil.
    What is it with these organic farm box people?!? Yeah, we get it from our CSA along with bok choy and an assortment of greens.

    We got an enormous bag this week in our box, I swear it is half a metre long. It's taking up half the fridge.

    We have a break til Spring but last year they unloaded squash for 2 weeks. I was actually tired of roasting it for soups. And, I don't like squashing greens to get them to fit in the fridge. Sounds like you'll be having some for the next few days.

    I love all green veggies, especially the leafy greens, including kale. But, I've always said that if I were a vegetable, I would be spinach. :smile:

    Now, fruit is another story. It all tastes too sweet to me so I use them in green smoothies with lots of greens so I can stand them. Except blueberries. Blueberries are glorious on their own.

    Spinach and arugula for me - but this thread is inspiring me to buy kale again.

    Nope

    It's just greens

    Used to be cheap cattle fodder until it was picked up as a "superfood"

    So what? If we never ate food that animals eat we'd starve.
    Lol, like grass and beetles?

    I like kohlrabi greens though. Used to throw them out and just eat the bulb and then realized what a waste that was.

    Yeah, agreed. I'm also much better about eating beet greens, which are delicious.

    I like most greens, don't have a favorite, try to vary them.

    Am really into collards, even though apparently WF has been mocked for promoting them (I liked them years ago, but did discover them at WF+reading about NY traditions, so feel defensive).

    So do we. Where do these people live who get deliveries now?

    And yeah, we had bad weather this summer so every message from my farm was about how terrible things were, but in autumn and early winter we got crazy amount of winter squash and root veg I am still dealing with (used the kale, mostly in omelets).

    I do not kale. Or spinach. (psst, vegetable names are not verbs.)

    Broccoli is good though :)
    I'm here to squash that idea.

    Kale, like brussel sprouts, broccoli and many of the other Brassica oleracea species have a concentration of various protective chemicals that taste bitter to some. Hence the love/hate relationship.

    I prefer brussel sprouts and broccoli.
