Probable "Mixed cabbages", but yes.

You're not.

Good. I'm so often made to feel I am, like when she's trying to plan a
meal (she loves all greens). :-(

Try southern (USA) style. Cut into strips and cook fairly briefly in
a small amount of fairly strong, brown stock (esp. beef). The salt
and umami cut the bitterness.

Ah, ok, another plan then, thanks.

All the best ..
