    Yes, looks like either Swiss chard or Spinach beet
    … they’re closely related. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Silver beet.  Yum.  With lots of butter!
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Yes yum indeed. I use it in Spanakopita and lots of other things  🍽

    That's the way. With silverside or roast chicken or beef or anything frankly. Godly with gravy.

    Or chopped fine, raw, in salads.
