Funnily enough around a decade ago or so it was fashionable in some circles in Poland to eat kale and it brought all kinds of ridicule from people questioning the plant's purported benefits. A lot of the more recent examples of Polish cuisine are dishes originally invented out of poverty and made largely out of cheap ingredients and which now took a new form using stuff unheard of at the time because the real recipe is not to contemporary taste. My favourite example of that would be cold cheesecake - originally made largely from cottage cheese, nowadays has mascarpone as the main ingredient. Mascarpone! Hardly anyone knew what mascarpone even was in the 70s.
