Let’s play.....Name That Plant!!

I was in the garden today and found these big plants that look like brassicas, smell like cabbagey broccoli but are just leaves.
At first i thought it might be kale but then i looked up images of kale on google and all the leaves in the pictures are quite curly whereas the ones in my garden are kind of wavy, like broccoli leaves, but definitely not curly.

Can anyone help me identify my mystery plant??
Your reward will be.........my gratitude!!

here's a photo:

i had that thought as well but the stems aren't really as thick as the stems on my broccoli plants.

what i'm really wondering is are the leaves edible and can i cook them up for tea tonight? lol

You probably could eat the leaves, =). Steamed in a white sauce, mmm, regretting not planting any myself this year!

i may just go and cook up some of the leaves to go with tea tonight. i guess no matter what kind of brassica it is, the leaves will be edible right?

Ooh my grandad has this growing all over his vege patch with no vegies to it!

I'll ask him later if he knows but I imaging you could eat it...
