gwalchmai Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Who's cookin' up a mess and do you believe they have an effect on your finances? I am and I'm not taking any chances... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie-pete Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Sauerkraut and spareribs, collards and black-eyed peas; I am covering all my bases. It worked last year; I made another trip around the sun and I am richer for it. Edited January 1, 2019 by willie-pete 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmohme Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 No collards, but yes on the Black Eyed Peas. The only effect it ever has on my finances is that it is a really cheap meal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshe Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Collars I like if they are boiled. The only sauerkraut I like is on a Reuben. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collars (like yellowtail) are best grilled or fried. Now if you're talking shirt collars, I guess boiled would make them more tender. What kind of dipping sauce goes well with those? ?

Citra47 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Collard greens with fat back or bacon, boiled cabbage, black eyed peas, sausage and corn bread make a good traditional Southern New Year's meal. Remember to put a good hot sauce on the side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Soldier Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Black Eyed Peas are not just a side dish. They are great cattle feed. When the cows eat them they are called "Cow Peas". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Soldier Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I like collards, Field Greens, Turnup Greens and Polk Salad. I like collards cooked down with side meat and sprinkled with crushed red pepper. I want enough salt and lard in my greens that folks don't think, I am eating Health Foods. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, poke salad adds a nice bite to collards and turnip greens. I notice you call it "Polk", which is what a lot of folks I grew up with call it, but we're from Polk County, which I assume is why. Story I heard is that it's called "poke" because when you gather it you put it in a bag (a poke), but you do the same for all greens, so I don't know. In any case, it's gooood!

I enjoy Sematic history. Now you bring up an interesting point. Yes, I remember my Grandfather a tobacco farmer back East referred to a "poke", of bread? The brown paper bags were called "pokes" as well. I always assumed the Poke Weed plant was just a matter of dropping the "L"? The Poke Weed Greens had to be picked in early spring when the plant was small and tender. Poke Salad was wilted with hot bacon grease. The plants grew large over 5' bearing many pods of berries. The Polk Berry Wine can be poisonous as can the mature roots and leaves. Poke Weed like tobacco and tomatoes is a Night Shade plant. . But I also liked "Dandelion" wine. Thanks so much for that very interesting post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
