Dear Vintner,
You've got it all wrong. When leafy vegetables' leaves change flavor and get tougher, *I* bolt.

Hard chard*. Gack!



* Great name for a band. Rangy Arugula and the Hard Chard.
"Oh dear," Penny dithered. "I really need some sleep."

Chard is not tasty at all. It is tolerable in soup, when it's been boiled into submission.

Chard, good sir, is a step or two away from heaven, especially when olive oil and garlic are applied, perhaps in collusion with bacon. And maybe a splash of balsamic vinegar. Steamed, not boiled. I have had chard that so out-classed its dinner plate companions that I would have tossed the other items and asked for thirds on the chard, were so doing not considered gauche.

So there.
Eat your Chard. Douse it with wine.
