Topic: Bacon Fat

The hosts mock the "superfood" status of kale, citing an NPR Marketplace segment that claims kale sales are "skyrocketing." Dvorak proposes a joke book titled "The World's Greatest Kale Recipes" consisting of 200 blank pages. The discussion concludes with a recipe for making kale palatable by parboiling it and frying it in significant amounts of bacon fat.

John Dvorak argues that the popularity of kale is the result of a successful British PR campaign rather than its taste. He requests listeners send "offbeat" kale recipes to his email, noting that most involve parboiling and cooking with bacon fat to make the vegetable edible. The hosts jokingly rebrand the show as a "non-GMO superfood podcast."
