Quoting: eekers LOL I thought that might have been an asian trying to say pork. That confused me too. 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. 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? 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. oh, so skippy just cut and pasted from urban dictionary? LOL nice. thanks for the link, OCD Chaos Theorist.

I've always been a little scared of Polk Salad though for obvious reasons. Like therapist said, it's labor intensive and a pain in the ass to prepare. Nutritionally speaking there are better greens out there. |

Just wanted to make the point that you can eat filling foods and still keep it low cal. Quoting: eekers It wasn't raw spinach, btw, I sauteed some garlic in coconut oil then steamed it in the pan with a lid on. What's your favorite quick, nutritious meal? if your heading was true, following would have been my response. you fucking moron! spinach should not be cooked or consumed with tomato. it causes calcium deposits in your kidney, also called kidney stones. glad you were kidding, but above statement holds good for eceryone. |
