I had never heard of this strange vegetable "Robby" in my Leave to Beaver whitebread childhood. Another fabulous Italian green veggie like escarole that is just not utilized enough. I never had EGGPLANT until after I was married! I never had cannellini beans!

Nooo, - we were too busy eating Swanson Salisbury Steak TV dinners with chemical mashed potaoes and Apple Brownfield Betty for dessert!

5. Thanks - I am so grateful for my wonderful Italian MIL

who really taught me simple, real cooking based on fresh ingredients. I don't think a prepared food entered her house.

8. The vitamin K content, if you are married to someone on coumadin

Looking at that, and spinach, kale and chard recipes with real envy.
