[Ag-eq] Curly kale

[Jewel]

I don't think that the kale that is fed to cattle is the same kale as we grow in our gardens:  for a 
start, I think that it grows to somewhere like 6 feet high, but it would, or so I imagine, be a 
close relative.
What I am going to do is to soak it in lightly-salted water overnight which, I hope, will get rid of 
the bitterness:  then wash it before it joins the other vegetables in the frying pan.

Jewel:

I really like to saute it with other vegetables; I hope you will like it.
I didn't know people used it for cattle, but I bet they would like it.
I've been on a kale kick for the last couple of years and eat it frequently.
Let us know what you think.
