Taken at a grocery store over on 6th and Washington, here in Philadelphia. What is actually in those bags? At first I thought asparagus, but I’m seeing leaves… do asparagus have leaves?  Any guesses?

Thanks to Hans for the link.

    To remain healthy, bros must remember to have 3-5 servings of vegetables daily, including, but not limited to: popped collard greens.

    I’ll be here all week, folks.

    I’m with Brad – I think it’s some kind of broccoli-related substance. Probably broccoli rabe.
