Thread: Poke weeds

Been eating lettuce and onions wilted with bacon grease with a little salt and vinegar sprinkled on. The bacon grease helps the blood slide through the arteries better. I do like some greens (of all kinds) fixed the way you are talking about. Haven't had any poke in years.

Y'all and my Mama.

Ugh@!

My Grand Mother used to put me and Grand Dad on the hunt when I was little. On our fishing trips which were usually farm ponds we were expected to bring back a mess. She always fixed it with pork brains and eggs. Ate it like it was candy. Not today though. Sure would like to try some fixed like Nimrod.

I LIKE IT REAL WELL , FRY THAT BACON CRISP AND CRUMBLE INTO DRAINED GREENS ALONG WITH SOME GREASE. JUST REMEMBER TO BOIL AND DRAIN GREENS ABOUT 3 TIMES TO TONE THEM DOWN. I JUST PICKED 4 WALLY WORLD SACKS PACKED FULL SO I COULD FREEZE SOME FOR LATER . I COOK IT AND FREEZE QUART BAGS FULL , THEN TAKE OUT AND SEASON (ADD BACON ) BEFORE EATING.

Haven't had any since I was a kid. Wouldn't mind trying it again.

eat lots of poke and eggs as kid!

you people reading this and mouth starting to water and all,,,,,,boil and drain off at least once........before you eat it. just saying !!

Boil and drain once real good. Fry up some salt pork. Good mess of pinto beans and some soft fried taters with onion.............and a pan of hot cornbread buttered good,
mmmmmmm good. Got lots on my place growin' good.
