Actually if you read up on these types of veggies there are numerous ways to cut the bitterness. One way is massaging with olive oil. I have a recipe I haven’t used in a long time where you braise ribs and either kale or collards in pure apple juice. It comes out delicious and completely knocks out the bitterness.
The bitterness is largely a defense mechanism that plants of this sort use to wart off insects and anything else that wants to eat it. It’s done largely by the plant absorbing large amounts of the element thallium. Once that’s neutralized the plant itself is super rich in nutrients.
Thus speaks professor Troutman, I’m going for another jelly donut, you guys can have your kale and coffee.

I can stomach kale in soups & stuff, I don't hate it. One thing I can't stand is quinoa. It even clogs up the dishwasher. I told my wife (after her feeding it to me a dozen ways) that it's safest and easier on the dishwasher to just dump the whole pot full in the trash before it even touches the plates.

While kale has its share of nutrients, I'm not convinced it is all he claims. The site he writes for claim to be science based nutrition facts. Without presenting the whole story, the site is presenting what they think you want to hear. Note all the ads. I'm not trying to say the plant is of no value, just be careful.

I know a lot of raw kale eaters complain of digestive unrest and gaseous emissions. If that's optimal health, I will enjoy being suboptimal.

Don't forget to add in some apple cider vinegar. Then you have all three of the big pseudo-science darling panaceas in one concoction, and your garbage bag will be healthier than it's ever been.
Seriously, I don't mind kale. It's got to be cooked, though. I can't do it raw.
Years ago, when I worked at Six Flags, our grounds crew would put "flowering kale" in the flower beds in the winter because they were the only thing that survived winter temperatures that had any color. But once the outer leaves started falling off, they stunk to high heaven (think the smell of over-boiled cabbage or brussels sprouts.) I had an aversion to kale for a long time after that. In fact, I didn't even know kale was a thing to eat for years after that.

Fair question. I haven't been back to the park since I quit almost 20 years ago - but the park is open longer in the winter and opens earlier in the spring. I imagine as it's one of the few things that looks good in the wintertime that isn't a permanent evergreen or holly, that they still use it.
Also... I forgot to add initially that my wife's maiden name is Kale.

Here it is Fire Art slight change in plans. I didn't do a hash but I did a tasty kale stir fry with crisp hot-curried sweet potatoes on the side.
Mmmm. Kale.
Just for you, I added some coconut oil for that nice flavor then I put the thinly sliced stuffed pork loin from the other night right on top of the hot stir fry and covered it. That heated up the pork and made it very moist.
