you can do that with collards, the important part is pulling the leaves off the stems. Those frickers are tough.

Has this broad ever been to the Rouses on Tchoup? Plenty of kale there, but I'm sure this actress hasn't ever left he Bywater bodegas to go shop somewhere else because Rouses or Winn Dixie isn't "authentic" enough.
The article made it sound like New Orleans is composed of hipsters, Mardi Gras Indians, and former anthropology major faux-bohemians.

sorry, but a lot of people are into eating healthy these days. It's here to stay.

I love to eat collards, but I can't stand the smell of them cooking.

My dad used to bake kale in the oven and make "kale chips." Just add a little salt/pepper or vinegar/soy. Delicious and nutritious snack.

This whole article would be infuriating if it wasn't so laughable. Ms. Goodman could have done herself a big favor and, instead of basing her entire article on a few anecdotes from a bunch of artists and bohemian transplants, she could have looked at actual data about New Orleans' post-Katrina resurgence. She could have talked to any number of software engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, civil engineers, doctors or people from any one of the industries that have made New Orleans America's fastest-growing city and asked them about their experiences with the city's rich cultural heritage.
But no, instead she focuses on the notion that all the transplants here are a bunch of artists and bohemians struggling to find some kale and worrying that other artists and bohemians will co-opt our authenticity.

The New York Times published a piece about transplants to New Orleans today that's rather embarrassing -- for that publication, not for New Orleans. The writer, Lizzy Goodman, lets people who are admittedly new to New Orleans go on and on about what life is really like here. One of the people she interviews, actress Tara Elders, says, "New Orleans is not cosmopolitan. There's no kale here."
Southerner that I am, I have about three greens in my regular rotation: turnip, mustard and collard. But just recently my wife thought we should try something new, and what do you know? It was kale. She didn't go out of the city to buy it either, she bought it at one of the local groceries. But just in case my personal anecdote isn't convincing, I called the produce manager at the Rouses on Carrollton Avenue. He said that the store has kale in the bag, kale by the bunch and even organically grown kale.

I don't think you understand the notion of fad. I don't think he's saying that people will stop eating kale altogether.

Well, they do have a point in this regard. This philosophy seems to be universally accepted only in New Orleans. It is...frustrating to say the very least.

Taken in context of the whole paragraph, the kale comment isn't bad. They're just saying that New Orleans is unique and marches to the beat of it's own drum.
Now this:
is a stupid comment

No, but the article is typical of the condescending attitude of the northern elitists towards the south as a whole.

how do you people not know what the hell kale is? Do yall eat every meal at Cane's?
Posted on 3/7/14 at 10:02 am to REG861
You can walk into any one of our 3 whole foods and buy kale prepared a few different ways.
