[quote=Anonymous]I wonder that too. I tried kale and can't stand it. I had heard of it when I was a teen just out of high school and working in a convalescent home to see if I wanted to go into nursing. (no.) They served kale there and I thought it looked like something you put in your flower bed to take up space. I didn't try it until a few months ago. I really wanted to like it but sadly, it just wasn't meant to be. When I was a kid (born in the mid 70's) my mom served peas, green beans, beets, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cukes etc. In the summer we had a big garden so I've always eaten and liked vegetables but weirdly I never saw or ate broccoli or cauliflower until I was about 12 or 13 and I loved it. I felt totally gyped out of many years of cruciferous vegetable eating. a few years ago I ranted about that to my sister who is 10 yrs older than me and she said broccoli and cauliflower weren't really popular in the 70's and early 80's. I think the farmers who need to sell that stuff hire PR people and spread the word. A few years ago the darling of the vegetable kingdom was soy beans, now kale. I wonder what poor underutilized vegetable will be the grocery store darling next? I hope it's beets. I love those and they have an unnecessarily bad reputation for no reason.[/quote]
