Back in my original Illinois home, I grew up most of the way with spinach as the only green we ever had. Then as I was coming of age I discovered collard, mustard, turnip, and kale greens and I haven't been the same since. I had some good greens a couple times on our BBQ Tour.

(I like greens that fight back a little. Spinach, tho I'll still eat it, is just lame. :P )

Have you had Swiss chard?

Yeah, that one slipped my mind.

(In earlier days I even tried some wild ones, like pigweed and goosefoot, aka lamb's quarters. )

Anybody try dandylion greens? I've been woundering bout em

 

[Diva Q]

I have had them in a salad but that is it. I found them really really bitter. I would not eat them again.

I have and they are delicious...
don't pick the full blown leaves...get the young small tender under sprouts...they're good...but not worth the work.

Fiddleheads on the other hand are well worth the work.....too bad they only come in spring and go away so quick.
