Poor man's food

dandelion


sour dock


lamb's quarter



poke weed
Poor man's food, spring times delight


Go into the yard and fence rows gathering these weeds, put them in a pot bring the water to a hard boil, pour off the water,take a skillet put in a goodly amount of bacon grease cast the greens among the pig fat cook until the weeds turn to a green, gray color.
Bake a pan of corn bread, not jiffy mix corn bread! eat until you are ready to burst .

Hi Patsy, I remember one time when my girl's father brought home a pickup truck bed loaded with poke greens for me to cook! You are so right. Don't make cornbread with jiffy mix! This does make for some good eatin!
