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.

I remember Curly Kale as a kid and it's not a good memory but we have grown
some "Nero de Toscana" a few times and it's very superior kale, almost a
different veg. Rather good in fact.
