re: Tell me about Kale. What's the deal?

I don't find that they taste the same or share the same texture. Mustards in particular are quite distinct in flavor from most all greens, and I have a love affair with all greens, but if I have to pick a favorite of the greens, it's Mustard Greens.

I crave greens also, I don't know if I mean that mustard taste the same, but to me they both have that bitter, "green taste", i just taste a lot of similarity between the two, kind of like brocolli and cauliflower. If you cook either too long the cells break down and you get those sulfur compounds, I don't like that too much. I am not of the old school country cooking method of boiling them down until they die.

This thread might make me conjure up a pot of gumbo z'herbes this week.

im using it in my juicer.

im more of a spinach/romaine guy for salads but its not terrible.

i do like it sauteed in EVOO though
