Anyone eating any fresh Poke Weed or Poke Sallet as mom called it ?:confused:
i dont eat it but its growing everywhere now seen some guys picking it at my work
Havn't eat any yet,But there is a small town not far from me that had a poke sallet festive last weekend,
we used to eat it growing up along with wild creesy greens.
What does it look like? Got a pic?
it has the pokeberries on it....purple juice...we used to paint our faces like indians with it as children....

Another way to cook it is. Take the stems from a young plant ( about as big as your finger) Cut them about 4-6" Long, In a pan get the water almost to a boil, Then put the stems in, Wait just a few min's- & the skin will pull off the stem, Cool & cut up like you do Okra, Then fry the same as you do Okra.
Sure is some fine eating:D

Well I guess I'll jump in.The only polk I ever ate was the small stem's rolled in cornmeal and fried.I never heard of eating the leaf but I'll try most anything once.I tried John's civiche and hated it but I did try it once.Now about the pig gut's,that I have never tried and probally wont without a little encoragement from MR Bud Weiser.He seem's to make me do all kind's of stupid stuff.
