Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  ;D

Oooooooooooh!  :P :P :P :P :P :P Where do you live???

Was that breakfast Tim??

EEUUK!!!! I'm sorry but I can't stand dark greens, although OH loves them (which is why I have to grow them.

cant bear the stuff myself. but dont mind me ;D. enjoy

Dark greens? Have you tried it puréed with cream - not green at all!  Young in salads? Oh, you don't like (green) Lettuce? Oh, & SO many life-saving things are in DARK greens!! Be cruel to be kind.  And not all Chard is dark.

No Emma - supper!

The ribs are good too!

ooo no they're the worst bits!

I love spinach.  It's probably my favourite veggie.  But chard and kale and other coarser greens leave me cold.  It's not that I dislike them exactly, but why grow and eat them when there are so many nicer leaves?

Up the creek again - meant to say béchamel, not cream!!

Funny how tastes differ.  I favour chard over spinach, I like the stronger flavour, same goes with kale.  And those young tender leaves in salads are fab with young beetroot leaves.  Love the ribs smothered in butter!

Nice supper Tim, quite fancy that myself.

Well the bacon and eggs look good. I can't get chard to taste of anything except baked earth - is that how it's meant to be?? I tried adding orange juice and that reduced the nasty tang, but was a waste of a good orange really.

Never thought to have it with eggs and bacon.  I normally chop it up with some onion, potato and garlic with a little water and simmer until soft.  Drain water and mash wish a healthy thingy of butter.  If you want a slight bite you can add a chilli or two  ;D ;D Yummy!!!! :P

Earthy, Chantenay? Yes.  Nasty tang? You mean astringent? Depends on type, age, & boiled or steamed. The purée overcomes that - as does Saag Aloo. The stems are much sweeter.

If plain, best squeezed absolutely dry - & cut like a cake.

mmmmmmm sag aloooooo. now youre talking my language.  ;D
