Poke for dinner Saturday, lived to tell about it 2020-05-03 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Poke picking was profitable for Johnny Giles each May back in the '70s. We never picked it for sale but when we found it in the yard we always put it on our menu.

I drained it and served it with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a little more salt and salmon. It was delicious. I lived to tell about it and recommend Poke among your spring greens - just boil it a few times. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
