Chinese Kale is a common ingredient in some Thai dishes and is available in local markets and some supermarkets. How that differs from western Kale, I haven't a clue and I've never heard of Collard Greens at all.

Collard greens are a basic part of southern cooking here in the states.

Slow cooked with some pork and a touch of vinegar, ummmm

May have to make some

i have not seen Collard Greens here in Thailand. I eat them all the time in the USA.

i will ask around and see if i can find them.

Kale with garlic is sort of the same here but not really. The Thais cut the the kale up in small pieces.
very small portions like everything here.
I really like this forum because there are no personal attacks. All the members contribute in a positive way to my posts.
