Annie; gator got your Granny.”) Sad, but true, I was hunting morels and found none, but happened upon a whole bunch of pokeweed.
We know that when the poke bush matures, and has those clusters of purple berries that stain the kids clothes, that those berries and the roots of this weed are poisonous.
However, when the shoots are very small, they can be gathered before the color is evident, boiled in at least two changes of water, and eaten as greens.
Bringing my treasure home, I got on the phone and called two people I could rely upon as experts. Mabel Lillard, my aunt, told me they were her mother’s favorite green, and cautioned me not to cook them very long. When she told me that, I had this flash of a memory, that when I was a kid I used to hunt them for her mother, my Aunt Pearl, who lived just across the road from us.
