Dear Aunty,
Aunty
Can a man develop feelings for curly kale? And if so do you know any country would recognise marriage between a man and curly kale?

Hey Farmer!
As anyone in the farming world knows the link between Kale and male goes back centuries.
Records from the 15th century show marriage ceremonies between the local Lothario and a freshly picked bunch of the local kale. Even to this day remnants of this practice can be found via a casual trawl through the phone book. Famous film director Albert R Brocoli CBE (Hon) and his family were early practitioners.
Brocoli (a strain related to the Kale family) was also nicknamed “Cubby” as his family kept their Kale relatives in a “Cubby hole” in the cellar of their farmhouse. His insistence that Goldfinger was released under the title of Brocolifinger was (thankfully) overturned shortly before its release.
Whilst no European countries recognise a union between man and Kale, you’ll be pleased to know some counties do. In particular Norfolk where an active kale community thrives to this day.
I suggest heading that way where you’ll be welcomed with open arms. It’s a weird place Norfolk.
Kale – the gift that keeps giving.

One can only imagine the magnificent offspring there would have been from an Albert Brocolli/Liz Lemon coupling.
One can Guap – your Spencer Tracey flanhead will be done this afternoon so keep an eye out!
Here in Worcestershire it’s asparagus… if he fancies something for the weekend?
If you can run it down to Cheltenham that’d be grand Holly!
You know they even have a festival for it in Evesham… They say it’s just celebrating the harvesting of the veg, but I suspect other things go on…
I suspect you are right.
Go green!

I believe an American Kale is living next door. Very humorous post.
Some of them have roots in the underground?
(Be the chlorophyll!)
Yep!
