When I was to my nearest town today for some shopping, I found this nice coloured decoration cabbage. I dont knowe if this is the english word for it. We hawe it outside in the winter so we get some nice colour in the garden, if we dont get to mutch snowe so they are under it. I take some shots of them and this was a nice one I think, I was standing right abowe it so I get a good shot.

That is gorgeous, cabbage or otherwise. The coloration is just lovely. I've heard of decoration/ornamental cabbage before, but I've never seen any that pretty.

Hi Matte, what your picture is of is called Kale, and it can be steamed and eaten or used as a garnish or decorate a plate, it is a very tough vegetable but I have been told it has a very nice taste and does go good in soups and stews any thing that is cooked a long time and slowly. I worked in a catering kitchen and we use Kale as a decorative plate to hold a small amount of salad or fresh fruit as it takes a long time to wilt. Lovely picture Robin
