I thought you were educated.
It is a plant that grows in the south. It is very common in Georgia. It grows on a stalk and has green leaves. The plant can reach several feet tall by summer. I have seen them 6 feet tall. In the summer it produces red berries that birds love. The leaves are boiled, rinsed then cooked in bacon fat or lard with onions or eggs. It tastes like spinach. The tender stalks are chopped, coated in flour and fried, and tastes like okra. I have eaten tis wild plant all my life, and love it! It is said you can not harvest the plants once they produce berries. Old wives tales are once the plants produce berries they are poisionous, but birds do eat them and are not affected by them.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37509518 chillax, skippy, no need to insult. thanks for the info, I've never heard of polk. I'll give it a shot, sounds like it'll taste good. I actually did a google search for it when you first ask, but didn't find anything on it, do you know if it goes by any other name? Quoting: eekers Polk salad. [ link to www.urbandictionary.com] It's actually poison if not prepared correctly. I have a lot growing on my property and cooked up several messes last spring. It's good cooked with eggs and onions, I think; but a lot of work for very little. Quoting: OCD Chaos Theorist oh, so skippy just cut and pasted from urban dictionary? LOL nice. thanks for the link, OCD Chaos Theorist. Quoting: eekers You're welcome.
