This is the reason I check in on this BBS regularly -- I always learn something useful.

Kale is allegedly yummy - I have yet to experience evidence supporting this allegation.

15.2.1 Kale

Kale is grown for feeding to livestock, usually in the autumn and winter months. It can either be grazed in the field or cut (normally with a forage harvester) and carted off for feeding green. In this case a heavier yielding crop is needed. It is mostly grown in the south and south west of England. It would probably be true to say that the majority of kale crops at present are grown for game cover. There has, however, been a small revival of interest in kale for ensiling in recent years.

My wife makes some kale chips which are surprisingly snackable

Can they hold up to salsa?

[Crackpot]

No they can’t hold anything. (Sometimes fail holding themselves) Just satisfyingly crunchy

For some reason, back when I was in Boot Camp (30 years ago? Good god.) almost half of the produce in the galley chillbox was kale. No one ate it, it was used solely to cover the ice in the salad bar for the non-recruit chow lines.

[Long Run]

During a snowpocalypse a few years ago (you know, when up to 6 inches of snow was forecast), panicky Portlanders descended on stores and the number one thing they bought was kale which was sold out of every store within a couple of hours. I don't believe there was a similar run on coconut oil though.

Probably the toilet paper was all sold-out???
