This thread has more hurt pussy than Hillary Clinton on 11/9/16.

This!

For the record, not referring to Steelie.

THIS!

Go fuuck yourself, been a while since I've told you that. I've kinda missed it.

Wow this got classy quick. Someone f**k someone's wife and not pay her, or what? Coupla internet tough guys.

Of hoe cakes and insults.

24hr breakfast of champions!

I ain't eatin Poke Salad either. How does cooking it get the poison out if it? I never understood that.

When cooking poke, it's recommended to change out the boiling water twice before you get to the "real" cooking w spices or meats. Sorta pour away the toxins after they are drawn out. That's what my grandma taught me anyway. May be several methods.

Haven't had poke in years. Need to look some up in Turkey season. We always cooked it twice, then cover it with cheese sauce and ate it like asparagus. It will make you crap, I always wondered if that was toxins or fiber.

The hoe cakes look delicious. Re Poke Salad, come on you guys, there is so much real food, I am not about to try to boil the poisen out of something so I can eat it.

Same here. My Mom was from Mississippi and my Dad from Tennessee, both born farm kids during the depression. I remember hearing them talk about eating poke salad and my grandmother seemed to actually like it. Turnip greens were a luxury for them. When you're worrying about where your next meal will come from I guess you'll eat anything. Not for me though, I'm not eating what's basically a poisonous weed. I bush hog down what seems like an endless supply of that stuff around my place in the summer. If the North Koreans invade and I have to go live in the woods to evade them then I might think about it, until then I'll stick to better stuff.

If you've got ancestors that came from southern farm families I guarantee they ate a lot of that stuff.

Ha! I don't turn my nose up at much food but greens have never been a favorite.

Used to be an old Doctor down around Humphrey, Ar. that said that any person that ate two messes of Poke in the spring, He would treat them the rest of the year for free. Not only an early spring food back when green stuff was scarce, some folks looked at it as a spring tonic. Same with Sassafras tea. I recall that you should dig the roots in Jan. before the sap started rising. miles

I know that Steens syrup is a favorite around here, but I was raised on Sorghum molasses and I still favor them. We could not raise Sugar Cane this far North with any success. miles

I was raised with the best of both worlds. We grew sugar cane in the Alabama River bottomlands, but if you journeyed a little northwest of Birmingham, they made some fine sorghum syrup up on Sand Mountain (when they weren't too busy handling serpents and drinking poison). I like them both. What I can't abide is that sugar water/corn syrup/ artificial flavor and color goop that fills the grocery shelves.

Thanks. Now I'll know if I'm ever having to mix up something to go with the dog meat.

I made some Sassafras tea just last year. It's getting hard to find the trees around here now.

Now they touting sassafras as a carcenogen!!

Bastids!
