Here in the Netherlands it's a traditional winter food, but it's eaten as a "stamppot" (potato mash, one of the many we have) with brown gravy and smoked sausage. We practically never eat it as a salad.

In Denmark we traditionally eat it as 'grønlangkål', which is a sort of butter and cream kale gravy or paste. It pairs really well with ham and potatoes. It's actually a Christmas dish, guess our forefathers were also interested in the lovely kale vitamins but found it a bit too rough as a salad 🙂

Interesting. So instead of spinach a la creme it's kale a la creme. I figure it works better with frozen kale than fresh, as it will have a finer structure.

The Dutch do one thing very well and that's winter food. Probably similar in Danmark, as fellow Northsea coast dwellers.
