Default Curly Kale

The thread about spinach and chard reminded me I had a freebie packet
of 'Nero di Toscana' kale that I'd forgotten all about. I'd been
meaning to try a few plants of that this year but it says sow April
to June, so I assume I'm a bit late to get any started off this time
around.
What's the panel's verdict on kale as a winter veg? Is it good
eating? I can't recall ever having any.


Increasingly "trendy" but my memories of it as a child weren't favourable
(and I did generally love my veg as a child). Metallic taste, tough,
probably good cattle fodder.
