There, I said it.
Reluctantly, I admit this too. We dehydrate our own drizzled w/ olive oil and salted. They're surprisingly good...surprising because kale generally tastes like...

...like a not very good tasting thing.0 -

That's a waste of perfectly good garlic, olive oil, and red pepper.
Okay, I can buy people hating on kale, but what are your feelings on roasted Brussels sprouts?
Those are delicious too.
Even better halved and sauteed in bacon grease and seasoned with thyme.
OMG!!!

ALL HAIL WATERCRESS.
Boo!! Hiss!! Oh wait, you're right. Anything's better than kale. You go, girl!
But still--bacon & peeps > kale and watercress
vs.
Kale belongs in a trash can. Along with the quinoa.
It might be, but I'm forced to ask, isn't kale a fern?
*sigh*
I guess I should finish catching up before I post anything at all.
Just a few more pages to go...er, I mean, 6. SIX PAGES?!? ON KALE?!?
What is wrong with you people?
It gets so much better...
Indeed, it did.
I also couldn't resist the urge to post along the way.
Alas, I am nearly caught up...and the fun will soon end.0 -

From wiki:
Kale:Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered[1] to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables.
The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide variety of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. The cultivar group Acephala also includes spring greens and collard greens, which are similar genetically. Pieris rapae is one of the best-known pests of the plant.
Fern:A fern is a member of a group of roughly 12,000 species[3] of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular (i.e. having water-conducting vessels). They have stems and leaves, like other vascular plants. Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads that expand into fronds, which are each delicately divided.[4]
Leptosporangiate ferns (sometimes called "true ferns") are by far the largest group, but ferns as defined here (ferns sensu lato) include horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns. This group may be referred to as monilophytes. The term pteridophyte traditionally refers to ferns plus a few other seedless vascular plants (see the classification section below), although some recent authors have used the term to refer strictly to the monilophytes.
I'm gonna go with no but I'm not a biologist and my last biology class was in 2004. Plus I never learned the plant kingdoms either in 5th grade...
There's only the one ...
That you know of.
We used to think we were the only planet in the solar system...er, planet kingdom...too, and...
...never mind.
This analogy fell apart much sooner than I expected.0 -

I like you, but...
Yeah I know but science and learning!
Unrelated but this is cute:
Since developing the The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM), I've found so many awesome pics like this. There are some truly creative individuals out there. I discuss incorporating your artistic visions into your cleanse in my upcoming book The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM): Incorporating Your Artistic Visions Into Your Cleanses, Master Works Recreated With Peep Inspiration, A Coffeetable Book.
I really think you need to work on shortening the title of your upcoming book!
You can appreciate big words, or you can have short book titles. You can't have both. @tincanonastring commands respect here. This is your last warning.
If that's the case, I've completely failed all of my goals!
You only fail if you give up. Back on the horse, pally! You can do it!
In that case, dick pics for everyone!
and you get a dick pic

You know what they say about people who laugh at their own jokes...

Apparently, 1 cup of kale has like 10 times the amount of vitamin K your body needs. Now, I checked and it said vitamin K is safe even in excessive amounts but I better don't take any chances. (Why, no, it's got nothing to do with the taste, what makes you think that?)0

I make mine with olive oil, salt, cumin, crushed red pepper and garlic.....I think even all the kale haters would like them. Not gonna lie, I'd take them over a regular potato chip any day.

I highly doubt any mixture of delicious foods would make Kale taste good to me.

I love Kale...raw, mixed in a smoothie, sauteed and scrambled with eggs, boiled. Doesn't matter. Yeah, I'm weird and that's ok. I tried to make Kale chips, but they didn't turn out right.0

I don't know. I hate eggs, for example, no matter how you scramble, boil, fry, or do anything else to them. The only time i eat eggs is if they're baked in cakes, cookies, or brownies, where they're really not much like eggs anymore.FatFreeFrolicking wrote: »I've never tried kale, it looks nasty ...
It's not nasty. People here clearly aren't eating it right…
Here's a delicious recipe:
1 bunch of kale
1 small container of feta cheese
1 cup of black olives
1 can of chick peas
1 small red onion, chopped
1 medium cucumber, chopped
2-3 tomatoes, diced
I make a garlic olive oil based dressing to go with it.
And no, I will not put kale in my baked goods

You forgot to include preparation instructions:
1. Put kale in a bowl
2. Mix everything else in another bowl.
3. Throw bowl #1 in the garbage
4. Add some spinach, arugula, and lettuce to bowl #2, stir & enjoy.0 -

A pictorial addition to my earlier post showing the correct use for kale. I wasn't aware it was meant for human consumption....

I do this all the time. I buy Sweet Kale Salad from Costco and proceed to pick all the kale out before I eat it. Kale really does ruin a good kale salad!0 -
