Eat what you want.
We will enjoy our grilled wild Pacific salmon, Pacific cod, mahi mahi, shrimp, oysters, mussels, beef, game like elk/venison, pork, lamb, turkey, and other real proteins.
Besides being tasty, the above go really well with a Kale salad or gasp an arugula salad. An avocado fits in well with all the above. I also grill asparagus and kale after the meat is taken off the grill and is sitting for a few minutes.
My wife and I just planted her 5 tomato plants that will feed us, neighbors and relatives with tomatoes to go with our Kale and arugula from mid June until the first hard freeze in Nov/Dec.
She will plant our Kale around her tomatoes after the tomatoes are well established. The kale can be harvested regularly to about Jan/Feb.
It all sounds great... EXCEPT THE KALE!
haha, you’ll never change my mind on that, nor chipped beef on toast otherwise known as SoS.
My daughter is a big Kale fan, she busted that out on thanksgiving one year, and it was a full frontal assault to my taste buds! But, being my daughter, I had to sit there like a 4 year old, and eat my vegetables and smile. They didn’t even have a dog for me to sneak it to under the table! So, I buried it in blue cheese dressing.
You are more of a man than I if you can tolerate such an evil vegetable! Beets may be the 2nd most evil vegetable (tuber/root/whatever), but my wife loves them to death. Cans them, mashes them, eats them boiled, stewed, grilled, etc. Yech!
Give me some brussel sprouts cooked in bacon fat with bacon bits with butter sauce over such nonsense as Kale anyday!
But... as a side note, the kale around tomatoes my neighbor swears by for cutworms. He does the same thing, says it keeps out all the grubs and worms from his tomayters, but I can understand why.... cuz even bugs won’t eat it! :)
I never tried arugala.
