I must admit, I see no point in kale if you have Savoy cabbage. One of
the team here showed us how she makes an 'amazing juice' with loads of
kale, celery and carrots. I took one sip and thought I'd swallowed pond

Isn't that one of the concoctions that "Puts hair on your chest"?


Yes, but apparently it is believe not to if you are female :-)

Who would want to eat Savoy cabbage?
The best winter cabbage for taste is January King.


January King IS a savoy cabbage!

You're right, it is NOW classed as savoy but in the old days it wasn't.
Savoy was that crinkly leafed thing
