I am a fan of backgrounds, and I love the way this background compliments the subject. Very nice shot Dave.

Poke salat is different from pokeweed and is edible. That’s what the song is about.

As a child I had my stomach pumped for eating poke berries, but at 42, while living in Arkansas, was offered poke salad. Reluctantly, I tried this cooked dish and found it delicious . . . much like spinach. Boiling and recoiling young leaves is the key.

I have picked, and eaten many times. My Mother would have me pick the young leaves, then boil and pour off three times before eating the leaves. Very much like spinach, other wise.
