That terrible musty dirt taste that collards get when they are
"mature". :-) I'm guessing that you can't taste it.
When I was a kid people tried to pass off collards as mustard greens
or turnip greens which I liked. No dice.
If it makes you feel better, I think lobster tastes like good seafood
dipped in the rubber they make tires from. My father felt the same
way as do a very few other people. I think that not all of us taste
the same chemicals.
