Yesterday kale was in my organic vegetable box. At first, I didn't recognize it and had to check the internet. In addition one must say that I live here in east Austria and we have here as good as no contact to this vegetable. I've never seen it in the supermarket or eaten at my friends. Well, I've already eaten it, with my sister-in-law, who originally comes from Germany (the home of kale) and who always performs a dance of joy when she gets kale somewhere in Austria. I then treated it as chard or leaf spinach and cooked with many other vegetables to a pasta sauce and eaten with pasta. It was so delicious. That's why I ordered the vegetable box (only over the winter months, since I have a garden myself and from early summer own vegetables). So I get to know something new. The supermarket offered what can be sold. There is little experimentation. And that's the same with the menu. You cook what is eaten in the family and then varies. It is always exciting when the vegetable box is delivered and I am forced (by myself) to use the content as best as possible. Several times I was surprised and challenged. Jerusalem artichokes e.g. was new to me but we are not so fond of it. I didn't know parsnips and became a new big love. I've always bought red cabbage as ready meal, but never prepared it myself, it tastes so much better. I would never have bought pomegranate, grapefruit, sweet potato, beetroot. For me, the vegetable box is always like a surprise egg.

Grünkohl - Kale

Also Grünkohl gab es schon bei mir als Landkind immer im Winter. Kennen alle Bauern auch in Niederösterreich und Wien. Feine Rezepte in allen Kochbüchern regionaler Küche.
ReplyDeleteMeine Mutter sagte dazu "Köhch".

Ja meine Schwägerin hat es sich auch selbst im Garten angepflanzt, weil sie Grünkohl im Laden nicht findet.

Kale is common in the United States. There is even kale chips in the supermarkets. It is filled with vitamins! Parsnips are common too. We cook them like we would carrots. It is exciting to discover new vegetables. Cooking becomes more fun this way! My husband is trying to grow a pomegranate tree from the fruit seed. They grow where we live now so that would be fun if it grows!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to try new food. I love it to travel and taste local food. It's so exciting!
DeleteLiebe Petra,
ReplyDeleteGrünkohl, den mag ich so gar nicht mehr ... ich hab lange Jahre in Norddeutschland gelebt und mußte ihn da sehr oft kochen ... das hat gereicht *lach*
Dein Gericht hier sieht aber sehr lecker aus!
Ich wünsche Dir ein zauberhaftes Wochenende!
♥ Allerliebste Grüße, Claudia ♥
So geht's mir mit Kiwis und Ribisel-(Johannisbeer)marmelade. Davon hab ich in meiner Kindheit zuviel abbekommen und jetzt geht gar nichts mehr.
