In case you're not aware, kale—a bitter, cabbage-like vegetable often seen being swallowed by Gwyneth Paltrow—is now the only food worth the trouble of digesting. Kale sautéed with red wine vinegar and garlic. Kale salad, soaked in fresh lemon juice with toasted kale shavings and a side of kale. Where I grew up, "loaded nachos" referred to tortilla chips heaped with chili, cheese, sour cream, olives, and guacamole. In most parts of Los Angeles it means kale.

Any kaleheads? It make you poop.

I like Greens; Kale is one of them.
Always one of the background scents around my grandmother's house.

I like Kale quite a bit. Dark green yummy! Spinach, Brussels Sprouts, and especially Broccoli*

* Broccoli is treated horribly by the right wingers. Bush hated it, and the SCOTUS ridicules it! The bastids.

Yes it can. Stir fried in a wok with cabbage, radishes, and and shrimp is kickass.

I love anything in the "Greens" family :) Especially with bacon.

I like my greens uncooked.

I like cauliflower leaves but, unfortunately, this are usually removed in the stores to display the floret.
