The only way it gets better than that is if you manage to snag two porkchops from the plate before Uncle Charles gets his fork into the pile.

This is a better photo of Poke Salad.



A good plant to harvest for the dish, but on property I have no permission to harvest. By the end of last summer, this plant was ten feet tall and you can se how big the stems were. The leaves will get no bigger than the biggest ones on this plant, which is now about three feet tall and doing quite well growing out of a crack in the sidewalk against the building. eventually those green stems will turn purple. I would not harvest a plant with purple stems as I believe that signifies a higher level of the toxin and a plant that is too mature to harvest.

It is a weed.

A broccoli plant in a cotton field is a weed to the farmer.

So is a rose.
