If your from the south and especially the country and dont know this ...then you suck.

There was a pretty popular band playing gigs around Baton Rouge in the mid-70's called Pot Liquor.

When I cook my turnip greens, I drop a few smaller new potatoes in the pot to cook. When they're done, they soak up the pot liquor and man they are delicious. They even have a green tint to them. You oughta try this.

I love pouring the pot liquor up in a bowl and masking up cornbread in it. Talk about good...

Yeah they were good. I never thought of cooking when i listened to them. I took their name more literally.

I remember them and used to see them at The Kingfish and once at Independence Hall when I was real little. Also saw the Doobie Brothers there when I was about 10 and my sister had to babysit. Damn pothead brought me to a concert.

I like mustard and turnip greens and eat the potliquor but I can't eat collard greens.

And to the poster above I will eat the hell out of a squirrel as well even though I haven't had one in years.

I was the same way until I moved up here. Collards are pretty popular. Real good bbq joint has fresh collards as a side dish I usually get with my pulled pork sandwich. (Some other choices: grits with hot peppers; fried okra; butter beans; green beans)
