Reminded of my inner redneck
How redneck am I?
Well, dinner just consisted of collard greens with chicken and dumplings.
And go Vols! Never thought I’d see 4th and 36!
Update: Despite my encouragement, the Vols did not go. And, at Kohl’s today, UT clothing was 50% off. Ouch.

Now the chicken and dumplings sounds good but I could never develop a taste for collard greens.
‘sides, I always thought it was suppossed to be pigs feet or hamhocks with collard greens.

Turnip greens are probably the most palatable for most folks, especially if they’re cooked with a little pork. They’re my favorite. Cracker Barrel serves fantastic turnip greens. Glory and Miss Sylvia’s have good canned turnip greens. If you’re ever in Harlem, Miss Syliva has a great soul food restaurant.
I like mustard greens sometimes because they’re so spicy, but no one else in my family likes. Collard greens are the easiest to prepare, since they’re usually not chopped up so fine.

Poke salad, Annie. Dig in.

That’s Poke Salet.
Better yet, try Kudzu

I was using the Elvis title for the song. And the Tony Joe White video I linked to has it “Polk Salad”.

Had them all except for Poke Salet, which grows in the yard for free, but the better half says if you cook it wrong it can be bad news.
I like the greens.

Geaux Tigers!
Why do UT fans wear orange? So they can go to the game, go hunting, and go pick up roadside trash without changing clothes.
Sorry ’bout that; I couldn’t resist.

Totally unrelated. Take it as hat-tip. The story of a lady who missed.

Had some kale (greens) not long ago. Pretty darn good.

I love turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens, but can’t have them due to their interaction with my medicine. I lose all equilibrium. The only good thing about not being able to eat dark greens anymore is that I don’t have to eat that damn poke salad..
