09/07/2005 | I've heard of Polk-a but not polk. I take your word for it, tboneya.
EDIT: My son in law just told me when he lived in Oklahoma, his family used to eat Polk salad! I couldn't believe it. He said he liked it tho, and he would eat too much.

08/28/2005 | Tboneya, let's hope that no one associated with military survival programs gets wind of this, or before you know it, guys undergoing survival training will be forced to be able to identify, recognize, pick, and cook this stuff as part of their training. Sounds really disgusting. When I was growing up the old timer Italians used to pick a weed (at least, I guess it's be classified as a weed) that grew wild that the called erba ciotta (fat grass)and use it for salads. It had thick stems and plump leaves (about a quarter of an inch or so long). It actually was pretty good added to a salad of other greens like lettuce. Clearly, it wasn't polk!

08/20/2005 | Never had this, in fact until this list, I'd never heard of it.
After reading tboneya's comment, I'm not going to try it either. If that country boy won't eat it, damned if I will.

08/18/2005 | Polk Salad Annie, the gator got your granny! Always yummy with a side of A-Dots.
I love greens like collards, spinach, mustard or whatever you can find at the grocery store. I don't trust myself to go foraging around in the wild without poisoning my silly suburban self. I'd try them though, if prepared by someone in the know.

08/18/2005 | I have not had the experience, but it sounds a lot like Sheep Shank or maybe even the dreaded Dandelion Greens!
