Kohlrabi

Kohlrabi Report - The Word
A well-known critic of vegetarianism, Stephen Colbert is constantly putting green vegetables on notice.  Colbert's latest stunt involves a plant-based alter ego named Stephen Kohlrabi.  Tune in to this week's edition of The Kohlrabi Report for more!

Like Lord Colbert, Mr. Kohlrabi is sweet and mild.  He is open to trying all sorts of new things, including light salads, hearty soups, and spicy Indian fare.  Following Colbert's lead, Kohlrabi holds snacktime second only to naptime.

P.S. Hattip to Kale Crusader Sara for nominating Kohlrabi.  According to Sara, "It's an awesome veggie, and though no one in the US knows it, everyone in Germany loves it!"

  4. Now, I'm not sure, is Stephen Kohlrabi green? (I don't see color.) Anyway, there's a lot of truthiness to this post!

    1. Yes, Stephen Kohlrabi is green—not the most brilliant of greens in this case but green. :)

    2. That was supposed to be a joke since Stephen always says that he can't see race. :)
