Green newspaper??!? Blasphemy! Peter, I must respectfully disagree with
your assessment of collards; a food grown and used out of necessity, true,
but a damn delicious one if cooked properly (baby collards tend to be more
"user-friendly"). But then I'm a fool for all bitter greens, including
dandelion. I came home from the farmers' market yesterday with an armload
of chard, curly kale, Lacinto kale, Red Russian kale, beet greens,
dandelions, and yes, collards.
