Collards is one veggie that I haven’t ever tried. Can you describe the taste?

Did I ever tell you it has been known to rain... and rain... and rain... and rain in Benderville. I haven’t been in the “garden” for a week

Come on down to Texas and bring some fresh tomatos, and we will fix a mess of collards and cornbread, Southern style! This is ideal collard season, they really get tasty after some frost on their leaves.

They taste like greens—spinach, turnip greens, kale—like those. They’re of the cabbage family, so they have a cabbage flavor, perhaps a little stronger. I cook mine with bacon and add a little vinegar and tabasco. Mmmm....

If you go to a big grocery store, one well stocked with lots of produce, you’ll probably find some there. Try them and see if you like them.

Here’s a nice recipe: Braised Collard Greens

They taste alot like kale in my opinion except they are a little more refined.
