>>7377052
Collard greens (collards) are various loose-leafed cultivars of Brassica oleracea, the species which also contains vegetables including cabbage (Capitata Group) and broccoli (Botrytis Group). Collard greens are part of the Acephala Group of the species, which includes kale and spring greens.

>>7377082
But no anon, they also list collard greens as a separate entity inside the category of collard greens.

Brassica olerace alboglabra.

that's all you need to know really. whites in the south usually eat a mixture of turnip and mustard greens. collards are good but most black people use the whole leaf and the bigger parts of the vein just ruin the texture

>>7377095
Fuck brassica, fuck you

nigger sprouts

>>7377052
Not very good

>>7377052
Slop that black people eat because apparently they haven't realized nothing is keeping them from eating the palatable parts of the vegetables anymore.

Greens you can cook like most others similar to it. Can be used in the place of kale in Caldo Verde. I prefer to cook it in some kind of animal fat like bacon with a little bourbon and some vinegar.

>itt limp-wristed pampered urbanites

Collards are whatever you make them to be, and they've been eaten by people all over the world for thousands of years.

You can saute them to eat them quickly, or stew them for hours, and they can be used as a simple side dish, or as the basis of a soup, or the main component of a meal with any given protein.

They were popular in the south because they were easy to grow in the southern climate, and available practically year round, which meant they were plentiful and inexpensive. They were / are eaten by EVERYONE, not just blacks, and the only people that think they are a "black" food are ignorant sheltered urbanites that haven't ventured out of their urban shitholes into the real world.

But what are they? Are they thier own plant or are they a collective term for big leafy shits?

>>7377186
>slop
They are a part of one of the most healthiest families of vegetables
But yeah okay, it's probably shitty because it was fed to slaves and/or criminals
Like lobsters were

>>7377308
>appropriating black culture
Its just not white people food,

Also, I wouldn't say not living with rural white southerners makes one sheltered. Bumfuck Alabama is just not a destination many people put high on their list of places to experience

>>7377313
They are their own plant within the Brassica oleracea species.

It's kale that actually tastes good. Cooked in pig fat of course.

>>7377336
>I am clueless about how people actually live outside of urban shitholes and suburbs

>>7377364
I am from a civilized part of the country, people here do not eat collard greens regardless of whether they are urban or rural.
Also, I grew up at the edge of the suburbs, a lot of people in my town were rural farmers

>>7377360
To be fair, just about anything tastes good when cooked in pig fat.

>thinks consuming one of the healthiest green leafy plants on the planet is "uncivilized"

I bet you all eat the hell out of some "Chinese" take out though, don't you.

>>7377407
No, I don't think consuming it makes you uncultured, just that the few people in america who do consume it are uncultured. I obviously don't think the consumption is what makes them uncultured
