I am trying to find a kohlrabi in any shops I visit, with no success. Morrissons, Tesco, Sainsburys, Quicksave, Netto, none of them have it on sale. Also on some local fruit & veggy market, there are none! Why is this vegetable so hard to buy in UK? It's so tasty and healthy at the same time. It grows everywhere and is so easy to plant.

I have heard of kohlrabi, but am not sure what it is like - tell us more? It is a wonderful sounding word. Had you thought of writing to Sainsburys etc? They have quite a good selection of veg, I think, but I'm sure they would respond helpfully, and you might even find the stores start selling kohlrabi as a result of your letters.

Here we go, another stupid American who doesn't know any Geography. England, Britain and the UK are all different things. - England is a country. - GREAT Britain is the island which the three countries; England, Scotland and Wales are on. - The UK stands for 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. - Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the UK. And to answer your question: Should we buy England for $10 million? The answer is no, because Americans are dumb.

Fruits have sugar, it's natural, but some fruits can even be bad for you. Veggies are a lot healthier, particularly the green ones.

U can buy them from greek or turkish green grocers. In greek they are called 'kouloumbra'. Taste great with a bit of salt and lemon.
