poke sallet


the term poke sallet is an old southern term for the cooked young leaves of the poke weed. sallet comes from middle english and refers to a mess (another old or middle english term) of greens cooked until tender. the term polk salad is a gentrified way of referring to poke sallet, and i’m afraid it reflects our inferiority complex when it comes to standing up for our southern terminology. we are not making a mush of polk salad; actually, we are being true to our english ancestors who settled here a long time ago.
some folks around here always add a little mol-sses and fatback to the water when they cook their poke sallet. that’s the traditional way.
