Kale

First off, it's definitely too soon to be even talking about this, but I was actually so appalled I need to share this with someone.

Until I moved here to the Southcoast for the first time back in the 1990s, I had never heard of kale. Seeing Kale Soup as a restaurant menu choice only made me wonder who or what the soup was named in honor of.

It's a staple in the Portuguese refrigerator. It's a staple in the Portuguese garden. And best of all, it's a staple on the Portuguese dinner table.
