I love it with scrambled eggs in it. The eggs gives it a whole different taste. Did you know that you can get the berries off and replant them where you want it to grow. I did it and now I have beautiful homegrown poke salad in my flower bed. Great eating for real!

If you know what you are looking for, you can find it just about anywhere. I boil and rinse my five times before putting it in the pan with fried salt pork, onions, vinegar, seasoned salt, pepper, accent and liquid smoke. After it has simmered, I will scramble in a egg. I also have potato salad, corn bread, a meat and a glass of sweet tea. I have been eating this for over 50 years and am very healthy. During the season, I try to find enough to freeze. When I don't have poke salad, spinach is an excellent substitute. Trust me, if I prepared it and you tried it, you will eat it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-77677827998455694522012-04-28T11:52:23.578-05:002012-04-28T11:52:23.578-05:00I am a 47 year old Kentucky girl and have been eat...I am a 47 year old Kentucky girl and have been eating poke salad my entire life. My mom fixed it for our family by cooking the poke leaves with butter in an iron skillet, until the poke got limp. Then she would add scrambled eggs and salt into the poke. My best taste description would be that it tastes similar to spinach cooked the same way. As to where to find it....it grows wild all over our family farm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-5124745668646671612012-04-03T02:52:37.484-05:002012-04-03T02:52:37.484-05:00Do any of your readers forage?

I love poke salad and first ate it with scrambled eggs. Would love it with tofu now :) Just had some last week, with onions. My husband didn't "rinse" it at all. The "ole Mamas" used to "clean out" their "chillin" every season and they never got sick.
