In Morrisons, doing the shopping. It's packed, and I couldn't reach the vegetables. So I asked, very politely, the woman in front of me if she could pass me 2 packs of kale.

She looked at me. Took all FIVE packs of kale (the very last of it) off the shelf, and put them all in her trolley.

Then she looked at me again, and waltzed off. WITH MY KALE IN HER FUCKING TROLLEY.

AIBU to bitchslap her? I had to buy something called Cavolo Nero, and I have to cut it up myself. Angry

yabu

she was weird. i'll give you that. but you could have asked someone if they had any more

Grin this woman is hilarious. she got emotionally entangled, yes. crowded supermarket shopping will do that to you.

the only thing i know about kale is when i was six i remember my friend's mum used to buy ready cut kale in bags to feed their guinea pigs in their utility room and i thought it was all posh posh posh.

I used to do that! Shock

I don't think it was me though, ours overwintered in a big run in the garage.

Ha ha ha - I thought you meant something else by 'kale stealer', although I didn't know what. The incident in Morrisons sounds weird. What a strange thing for the other customer to do. Cavolo nero is nice - strip the dark green leaves from the pale rib down the middle and cook as you would spinach or shredded savoy cabbage. Lovely with chili flakes and garlic.

Bet she's sat lovingly cradling her Kale now thinking "NO fucker asks a favour of me...hah!"

HereComesHoneyBooBooDragon · 12/10/2013 23:20

Now. How does one toast kale?

Northernlurker · 12/10/2013 23:25

No good will come of buying 5 bags of kale. You got the better deal OP.

Kale Stealer sounds like a newsreader.
'And now over to Kale Stealer for the headlines'.

ScarerStratton · 12/10/2013 23:45

Honey, I melt some coconut oil in a roasting pan, toss the kale in it until it's thoroughly covered, season it, then shove it in the oven until it's crisp. It's delicious, we make it as a snack :)

That is so happening chez dragon, cheers Stratters Thanks

Morrisons was peculiar for me today as well. I bought a pork shoulder and when he scanned it through he said here have a piece of me, this is my head.

Strange.

Well, it's coming up to Hallowe'en ...
Colcannon (colcannion?) is traditional this time of year - Kale, onions, turnips and spuds mashed together with salt and pepper, butter and milk.
Best to cook in a pressure cooker, layer; potatoes, onions, kale, potatoes, turnips etc. Serve with ham, or rashers.
Some people mash the ham through it.
On Halloween, my mum used to wrap up money in greaseproof paper and mix it in the mash - we used to love it!
Perhaps this is just an Irish custom? I think it is definitely a celtic custom.
Yer wan is a bitch to take all the Kale - she was probably lime jelly because you are younger/better looking/better dressed/better mannered!
Feck her - I'd call her a geebag (Irish for cuntbag )

Maybe she has a colony of hungry tortoises at home.

cooeeyonlyme · 13/10/2013 00:47

I bought ornamental Kale by mistake once and ate it. Won't be doing that again!

She will fart all the way to Timbuktu and then back again.
