How do you southerners cook your okra?

Shall I walk down to the horse barn and get ya'll some pic of poke ' sallet'....that's about 8' tall???

That is for those who have not see it.....hard to imagine there is anyone in the world that has NOT seen polk sallet nor kudzu.


I'd be happy to if youi'd like
 
Sure, kolanuraven!!!!!!! So far as I know, I've never seen either, even though I was in GA for a while, back in 87........I couldn't imagine anything ever being so GREEN!!!!!! And I never saw the sun once in the whole time I was there........always so misty that the sun never shown. lol

Lilly, :lol: I know about bacon dripping pots.....I even have one! B'lieve it or not.......:nod: The only thing I ever use the drippins for, though, is tortillas.........they come out great and so soft........:nod:
 
Ok Ranchy...the pics are in the photo gallery. The main plants are about 8' tall. They came up in an old " honey pile", manure pile.

If you own a white/light colored car in the South...the bird crap is awful as the birds eat the berries then crap purple all over your car!!!

It's called " sallet" as that is a bastardadization of the word salad. Part of the Southern lingo.
 
Here Virginia Creeper is a creepy crawlie vine.

Poke weed will gain tree status and the trunk will get really woody and hard. The roots to poke will go for several feet deep and grow to HUGE sizes.
 
LILLY:"Poke Salad Annie" - Elvis Presley

Some of you all never been down South too much...
I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,
and it looks something like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,
But they did all right.

So forth and so on......................

Lilly, that is not an Elvis Presley Song!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony Joe White wrote it and recorded it. Along with "Rainy Night in Georgia" and many other popular hits.

Lets give credit where credit is due!!!! :?
 
I didn't mean that Elvis wrote it. But he did record it and sing it at concerts.

I remember hearin it on the radio when I was a kid.

Yes the website I was on said it was written by Tony Joe White but I'd never heard of him, and didnt figure anyone else had either LOL But everyone has heard of Elvis.
