greens

[asakiyume]

A guy I follow on Twitter is doing a couple of polls about greens (the things you eat, not the members of the political party... I mean if you're a cannibal that distinction might not be valid but I suspect for most of you it is, plus--no capitalization!)

Here is a link.

For those of you as click-averse as I am, there are two groups of greens:

First group:

chard
collards
kale
spinach

Second group:

beet greens
cress
mustard greens
turnip greens

You have to choose your favorite for cooking in each group. (You can go vote if you want--it will add a new dimension to his polling base.)

So .... do you all have favorites? Opinions? Beloved recipes? I cook spinach, kale, and beet greens; I have cooked mustard greens now and then, and sometimes chard. I did not know you could *eat* turnip greens--it's an exciting new piece of information.

TBD is disappointed that it is impossible both a) have the components of a soup served separately and b) still have a soup.

Poor TBD. It's like wanting it to be soup, only dry--although actually, that would be easier: she could munch on unreconstituted ramen.

TBD does, actually -- while the rest of the package is cooking.

Ramen from a plate, even if it's nominally there just to cool it, is preferred from eating directly from the bowl. (Though last night, in a restaurant, they did eventually stop pulling it out and ate from the soup. They also, wonder of wonders, ate half the charshu pork.)
