Thankyou Shirty, you've tackled a delicate topic without confrontation... Hopefully this has the desired effect!
Indeed, and in a typically British way too by avoiding directly addressing the topic and instead using satire to accomplish the desired result.
Purple sprouting broccoli is the ****. That, or braised cabbage.. or creamed leeks... mm. and asparagus. Just no damn kale.
Have you tried your kale pan fried in butter with secimie seeds and a good twist of salt? It's the only way to face cardiovascular disease in the face and say BUT I ATE MY GREENS!
