Ha-- garnishes! Kales are pretty, and at restaurants, it seems they use a lot of stuff to make the plates pretty that most people don't eat. There's a Thai restaurant that puts lettuce leaves on the plate before putting the cutty in the bowl, then some long thin carrot slivers and other decorative vegetables, and often an orchid flower. My friends and I always eat the garnishes! The last time we were there, the efficient wait staff kept trying to take our plates before we had eaten all the garnishes.
