Thread Name: Origins: Pork/Poke/Polk Salad Annie
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Polk/Poke-Salad Annie
By the way, it can be Poke Salad or Poke Salet
or Poke Sallet. Salet (sallet) is an archaic word
for salad and many early settlers still used the older
word for it, hence that pronounciation lingers in some
regions.

Another by-the-way: Don't eat the stuff raw, it will
make you sick. It's not really a salad green and should
parboiled at least once.
