Over the teeth and over the gums,
Look out stomach...
Here it comes!

I have milkweed growing in my pasture. Never thought of cooking it. I agree, YUCK!

Wow. Throw some slugs into that, and you've got a MEAL.

I once had a big black dog that loved to eat grass................... he'd eat grass all day and then get sicker then a dog and.................... well, you know .............. Yuck!

What's in that wicker basket? Smelling salts?

Dearfolk,
Bet this would be even yummier with a side of scrapple, homemade bread, and homemade apple butter... but scrapple doubtless isn't Kosher enough for the Borscht Belt.

P. S. Plenty of people eat dandelion greens, so I see no problem at all with milkweed. But beware - the stems are supposedly poisonous.
P. P. S. Dylan Thomas may be hiding under the bowl.

Come on you all..to me this looks like cooked spinach. With alittle imagination and experience I think we all could garnish this dish to make it look lovely....any suggestions.[:p

Skunk cabbage muffins. Possum butter on the side.

On the other plate...haggis.

I had this the other night.....I mean I had THIS PARTICULAR PLATE the other night.

I'd eat this if I were a deer, an elk or a cow.

Looks like something some Survivor contestant would have to eat! Blechh and the green juice that is with it, what is that? Dont know if I am spelling it right but looks like regurgitated cow stomach contents!

You should see the greens that Mamaw Smith cooks in the spring. Fortunately they taste better than they smell or look.

I never shot a deer or an elk that would eat that stuff.

Don't know about deer or elk, but cows won't eat milkweed.

Looks like cows have better taste then! WOW, someone actually said I should see Mamas greens? I dont know, I think I would run for the city:) But, alot of people like greens so who am I to judge? (Sits back in the corner gagging)

This may sound stupid, but what is poke sallet?

MAKE, why can't I EDIT anymore?!?!?!?

To all,

We eat the butt and more of a cow, the ribs of a pig along with the hocks, all of a chicken. We eat liver, sweatbreads, sausages(?),and parts of goats and sheep. We eat scallions, garlic, onions, ramps for God"s sake, cabbage; you name it. Why is this so unusual?

This polk salad sounds interesting...thanks for clearing that up:) And in answer to the question about this being unusual..my reason for thinking that this "plate" is disgusting is because the way I was brought up living in the City, we never ate this kind of food. I have since tried many things after my childhood and find most to be not to my taste. It is unusual for city folk like me to eat alot of what my country friends eat. They laugh at me too:) I must say, since I have grown up, I have tried and keep trying new things...broadening my horizons I think it is calledHowever, if it looks like that picture above, I would pass on it for sure.

BakersBoy...what is ramps? (I know, another stupid question)

I just went and looked up what ramps are...never had them, they sound yummy to me though, anything that has onions or garlic is a for sure tummy pleaser! Where do you find them? And are they only grown wild? (puts ramps on the grocery list)

To all,

Ramps are basically wild spring onions. They are prevelant in West Virginia, but we get them here in Maryland too. I do not know of a grocer who stocks these but you can find them at the local farmers market. There is a restaurant in Berkeley Springs WV., called "Lot 12". It is excellant year round, but in the spring they have lots of ramp specials. The ramp soup is astonishingly good.

I am sitting here pondering how I can get my mitts on some:) We do have a huge farmers market that starts up and must be going on right now, there are alot of Koreans or maybe Chinese that attend these with alot of neat veggies.....thank you for your help!

"Poke Sallet Annie". That was Tony Joe White!

Ramps are popular in the mountains of western NC. Eat some and you'll stink like hell for a day or two... (Don't ask me how I know)

I better hide them if I ever find them from my hubs, he stinks like hell just from garlic and onions! LOL! I still think they would be good but now maybe just in tiny portions:)
