What the f*** is this vegetable?

[Sally, la reina]

I'd like to cook it, but first I need to know what the eff it is!

[RandomAnthony]

Hm. Is it that Japanese stuff...what the f--k is it call...Bunny! Bunny! Where are you?

[RandomAnthony]

How did you come upon unidentified vegetables, by the way, Sally?

[Sally, la reina]

My CSA basket was full of unusual stuff today, RA!

[Sally, la reina]

It tastes a bit like the smell of broccoli, actually.

[RandomAnthony]

Chard! I was just about to say that!

(No I wasn't. I was thinking Bok Choy...)

[[deleted user]]

Looked like chard to me too.

[Sally, la reina]

The CSA lady guessed Collard Greens, but I think those are fluffier.

We had something like Bok Choi last week, RA, it was paler, tougher, and with thick white veins.

[Félix]

Aw, just cook it and eat it.

[Sally, la reina]

Right! They smell like cabbage! Thanks Bun. I'm bookmarking that site, too.

"Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands"

[Kevin]

i am going to start using the word chard

"nice job CHARD!"

[Sally, la reina]

I had a student last semester with the last name Chard.

[Heidi]

Wow. Someone was named after a cabbage.

[Sally, la reina]

Well, he was named something nice. His last name was of the vegetable persuasion. I imagine his forefathers were greengrocers.

[Félix]

Like Helmut Kohl.

[Sally, la reina]

mmmm-hmmm. Like that.

[Heidi]

Nice. I'm not sure of the semantic origin of my last name. I just know some of my ancestors were French grape harvesters/made wine.

[Kevin]

mine must have been donut makers

[Heidi]

Dunkin? Krispy?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Kevin Sprinkle. Remember Heidi? In the thread about jimmies vs. sprinkles.

[Kevin]

i am ultimately impressed

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Plus, it shows up if I put the mouse over your name. :)

[Kevin]

Romaine lettuce has been recalled in the US just in time for Turkey Day.

[The_Ficus]

Looks like kale.

[Marie]

It is collard greens! I have seen enough of those in my lifetime as my dad was constantly cooking them. He even grew them on his farm for a couple of years. :)
