All those big leafs are similar, but different. It will still be good
dish, but not the same. If you want the exact taste, use the exact
recipe. Or, play. You might find a vegetable you like better.
I got something at the farmers' mkt this summer that the guy called
"Chineese Broccoli". Not broccoli - huge, beautiful, magenta leaves.
Kept it in a vase for a day, it was so pretty, but it started to wilt,
so I've got a couple of bags still in the freezer. I throw it in
soup, stir fry, steam like spinach. It's a big dark leaf that tastes
good. Got to find seeds for this spring - not the backyard garden,
the front porch - this stuff is prettier than a lot of flowers.
