We like our spinach wilted.

We season ours with seasoning meat from a local farmer's market. The package says "Pepper Jowls-dry salt cured pepper coated" pork. Even though it's in packages when you walk into that market you can smell it as soon as you walk in the door. Smells just like the old smokehouses used to.

Every pig roast I went to down south the jowls and cheek meat were always reserved for the host.

Just had a bowl of sautéed escarole. Not that I don't like some collards but escarole with onions and maybe some cannelloni beans is like eating candy.

Wilted or not, as long as it's uncooked spinach has great flavor.

Collards are a close second to Brussels Sprouts on my veggie hate list.

My father used to love smoked salmon cheeks. He called them Norwegian pork chops.

The ham bone goes in the navy beans and the salt pork goes in the collards.

They share the podium.

Had em twice, that's enough, prefer spinach,raw.

Same here. I prefer raw spinach to lettuce for salads and sandwiches. My dislike for cooked spinach started as a kid when mom used put a large spoonful of cooked spinach on my plate. Looked like pond scum. Didn't care much for the smell either. Dear old dad would douse his with vinegar. Just nasty! Pass the corn, please!

My mom used to mix the cooked spinach in with smashed potatoes to tame the taste. She gave up trying to get me on board.
Amazing how the taste differs so much.

Bring on the Buitoni and Ronzoni.

Collards are good raw. Chopped up instead of lettuce for a salad with dressing or just straight out of the garden. Larry

Mmmm, likes me some tangy, vinegary greens.

My dad always used a separate bowl for his cooked greens as he put vinegar and Tabasco on them. He then sopped up the juice with cornbread.

I don't use as much vinegar these days as he did but I sure lay the sriracha on heavy.

 

[ladder13]

That's what I am gathering.
I'd rather get my grease straight from the bacon, beef and cheese; I get my green from guacamole.

Yeah, drown them in something else.

In my world, corn and green beans are the only acceptable veges that can be mixed with mashed potatoes.

I haven't seen cans of spotted dick on store shelves in a while. I don't believe it was ever a big seller in Texas anyway.
