I love kale.
Scotch eggs are good, unless they are cold. Cold sausage is gross- congealed fat. Ugh.
Sweet jello does not go with savory items in my mind, but i'll withhold judgement on savory gelatines until I try one. Texture expectations make things hard, but it's good to be open minded with food.
I've made orange cupcakes, and it turns out they are very good when eaten with pepperoni. Sweet things are enhanced by salt.

I had a Scotch Egg and it was delicious!!! I had it at an outdoor festival and wanted to try something different. I don't know why the fast food places aren't churning them out as breakfast foods for the Paleo/Carnivore crowd. YUM!
I like Kale... I've made kale salad (the kind you massage the oil into the greens) and a bit of basalmic vinegar or lemon juice, blueberries, and walnuts. I added some cooked lentils and more vinegrette dressing the next day and it was astonishingly deliscious and filling.
FWIW: there's different kinds of kale - and the bigger the leaf the 'tougher' it is - which may cause a texture issue? The 'russian black'? kale seems mild to me and any of the kales with really ruffle-y leaves make for good salads. The Kale with long spear like leaves don't do much for me. Perhaps people experience kale as being bitter? I don't like dark chocolate - it makes my entire body scream EWWW!! BITTER!!! SPIT IT OUT!!! but I'll happily eat greens that are a bit 'bitter' and I drink coffee by the bucket. Maybe there are different 'flavors' of bitter?

I remember when I was a kid my grandmother made some horrendous jello "dessert" that contained green jello, cottage cheese, walnuts, a bunch of veggies, and some strawberries. It was the single most horrendous thing I've ever been forced to eat. It was like some sort of digestive punishment. It still makes me gag thinking about it.
Scotch eggs though are awesome!

So on 50 years what will our grandkids think is gross? Sushi? Quinoa? Kale? Yes.

No matter which relative was hosting the holiday dinner, back in the 50s and 60s we had a lime jello mold mixed with Miracle Whip, shredded cucumber and maybe walnuts. A rather boring, bland cold 'salad'.

My grandmother made the lime jello with cottage cheese and fruit thing. It was okay. I actually liked it. I've never eaten any of the other things mentioned in the link. I do like kale with pinklewurst. My husband used to make it once in awhile when he could get pinklewurst. Unfortunately, I didn't get him to write the recipe down.

Anyone remember those snack sticks from the 60s that we ate because the astronauts did? If I had o e know ii would probably not like it. Space sticks! To be washed down with Tang!
Come to think of it the space sticks resembled Tootsie Rolls. But I'm pretty sure there was a so called peanut butter flavor.
Worst food invention of the late 60s/early 70s? Cheese kisses.

We received kae almost weekly in the CSA box last summer and after several weeks of trying to make it palatable via different recipes, I finally realized I just don't like it. It isn't that it is just bitter. I like beet/collard greens, spinach, Swiss chard, endive, radicchio, etc. There isn't a lot of stuff that I do not like and will not eat.

I grew up in western Minnesota, where Hot Dish and Jello salads were, and to some extent still are, staples of the church pot luck circuit and family gatherings. Where puttin on the dog meant putting a small dish of Miracle Whip in the center of your ring mold as an accompaniment to your Jello salad. To me, Jello salad means small towns, friends, family, and Scandinavian accents. In fact, a friend brought a Jello salad to dinner Sunday night. It was great! I had seconds. But nobody said youbetcha or uffda.

And now that I think about it, it was mom who made it for all the holiday dinners and none of the Massachusetts relatives (where we kids were born and grew up) made it.

Miracle Whip and Jello And why add fish or meat If I eat Jello, it better be fruit flavor and plain! Gawd!!! ETA: you may put Cool Whip on the Jello as well but Miracle Whip is just wrong!!!

That would probably have been lime Jello with cottage cheese stirred through it. It might even have had some chunks of canned pineapple in it, even though too much pineapple could keep the jello from setting up. With cherry Jello, you would get canned fruit cocktail. But, no self respecting housewife from WI, MN, IA, SD, or ND would have put something like olives in a Jello salad. Olives go on the relish tray, silly. Who knew there were rules to Jello salad?

Instead of pinapple, we had shredded cucumber in ours.

Thanks I boiled the eggs, pealed and wrapped them in sausage. I cooked them like you would cook sausage, in a pan. I don't fry much. We can also buy them at two pubs near us (that I know of) and at the Renissance Festival in the summer

I agree certain Kale varieties are better than others. I am not a fan of lacinto Kale also sometimes known as dinosaur Kale. I think the best one is the ruffle-y texture and gets a purple tinge when harvested in fall. That often gives it some sweetness.

My kids (36 & near 40) think I eat disgusting food. I am jewish and a couple of my 'ethnic' goodies TOTALLY turn them off. Things like chopped liver & gefilte fish. Always did even before DD1 was a veggie. Personally, I could never stand tongue although my Dad & late DH both LOVED it.
I worry that soon we might lose all those old time ethnic favorites. The ones that have become 'mainstream' have been dumbed down. WAAAY less onion, garlic, spices............

Kale is awesome! Chop it up and use it in a salad with champagne vinaigrette. Works well with quinoa, apple, cranberries, and gorgonzola. Or lemon vinaigrette with cherry tomato, red onion, avocado, and edamame. Now I'm thinking kale and mushroom pasta is on the menu for next week. what kind of sauce do you put in that pasta? that sounds tasty. I have been craving my kale and black bean soup lately, and now this thread lol.... guess what I'm making this weekend now?

Fresh mozzarella is also a good addition.

I grew up eating Caldo Verde aka kale soup. It is funny to see so many people both suddenly find it trendy and the need to dis it. For those who like to try new things this is pretty close to the recipe I grew with. www.cooks.com/recipe/dw82o45c/new-bedford-portuguese-kale-soup.htmlPersonally we always used chourico in things like a soup or dish where it was the flavor for the dish. Linguica was what we ate like a hot dog or put on pizza.
