Never considered eating it raw. Funny the ruts one can get into. Chard is the only green we grow down here in SW Louisiana as it is the only one I actually enjoy eating. We use just the leaf in salads but when we cook it we use stalk and all. Sometimes we just graze on it as we go through the garden. Although my grandfather always seemed to have chard in his garden, we never ate the leaves - always just boiled the stalks and had them with a white sauce with butter. Thanks -- Wilson N45 W67 ok, so I'm a chard virgin....what does it taste like? how does it compare to lettuce? Spinach? something else? curious, Kathi I'm going to let someone else answer this, but it is milder than spinach when cooked - I don't know about raw. "Chard Virgin," hmmmn? Sounds like something you might find next to a volcano ;-) Hell, I thought it was funny :-( -- Wilson N45 W67 Oh, sorry Wilson - I thought I had replied. Yes it was funny - I had a wee chuckle.... Kathi It was cute but it didn't make me wee. -- Billy Bush Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0aEo...eature=related |

Just curious ‹ I know people who are willing to pay dang near anything just for homemade quality. Sugar prices bite right now. Tomorrow I will put up a few pints of pickled b**ts mit onions and probably more next week. We ate the beet greens tonight with our roast beef and black eyed peas. Had some raw carrots out of the garden for beginners. Tilly Dawg, unlike Sleepy Dawg, has decided carrots are for rabbits. Ol' Sleepy would beg for them, Tilly just spits them out. Spoiled little thing! Are you three finally getting used to each other?

Yeah, onions, broccoli, grapes, raisins, a whole list of things that will poison dogs and even some cats. We try not to give Tilly any people food at all. She is getting a knee operated on in a few weeks and needs to lose a few pounds. Seems every one of her littermates has the same problem too. Let us know how she gets on please. |
