Shop bought stuff yes. I grow Cavolo Nero for D as he loves that, but the
stuff in the shops are always overgrown and bitter.

I know before I even finish this post you will reject it, but here goes.
I've never prepared kale myself but my local Kroger was stocking 'Super
Food Salad' in their deli area, but no longer. It had kale, a few grape
tomatoes, a bit of shredded carrot, a smidge of red onion, some chopped
celery, blue berries, a scattering of sunflower seeds, and peanuts. An
ultra light vinegar and oil dressing was tossed with all the makings.

Supposedly, when kale is to be eaten in a salad it should be 'massaged'
for about 5 minutes to make it tender. The massaging breaks down the
kale and reduces it in size dramatically making it tender as well.

IMO, kale is such a worthless leafy vegetable. No need to buy
that these days.

When I was a child, local farmers grew it for cattle food. I always
associate it with that.

Likewise, beet greens.

Ed, I am with you. No matter what I have done with it, the bitterness always comes through.
It might be edible if battered and fried, but I haven't wanted to waste the time and ingredients
to try that.

You can boil it in coconut milk to make creamed kale. If you want to go hula-hula Hawaiian, you can add some boiled octopus and make kale squid luau. If you do it right it's going to look like vomit with baby shit.

I saw a package along with the salad stuff Kaleslaw. I cannot imagine
it. Not sure if it was all kale or a blend, I'm not interested.

Use it like you would use cabbage leaves, i.e. as a wrapper for a
filling. Steam/roast until tender. Large kale leaves make a good
(and edible!) substitute for banana leaves or corn husks (or parchment
paper, or aluminum foil, or ... )

I also use large horseradish leaves this way, if the wrapped food
is compatible with the mild horseradishy pungency of the leaves.)

It's a preemptive anti-Hawaiian/cultural dis strike. This dish totally works with kale though.

Absolutely, and my own would be left on the shelf.

Cheri

ds1, did you see that hilarious video of,the kayaker who was paddling along, minding his own
business, and a seal suddenly leaped out of,the water and slapped him upside the head with
a large octopus and then sank into the water without it? (The octopus stayed clinging to the
kayak for a while longer.). It is probably on YouTube, and worth the search.

Well, seeing as how we here have vitamin deficiencies for various reasons,
we are gonna eat it while it's in season.

Well since I don't use cabbage leaves for anything other than soup or salad,
I have no clue what the filling might be.

Yes I did. I have no problem with a kayaker getting slapped in the puss with an octopus by a seal. Those guys were probably terrorizing the neighborhood with all their inceassant slapping of their paddles with little regard of the baby fish and seals. Those guys were out of control and something had to be done. I'm just glad there was at least one seal out that that had the balls to show these punks what for.

Yeah, that just happened the other day. I saw it on the evening

I've never had the black type. I tried to grow it once, but it didn't
work. Wrong weather or I did something wrong.

Julie said she knows you can use it in a salad, but what else can you
do with it. And then you say "You can use it in a salad". Duh.

I doubt Ju-Ju makes a 'superfood salad' out of kale. She'd probably
throw some brown rice in the dish along with some beans and call it
a 'superfood' salad.
