collards have a sharper taste than poke salet, tounip greens are next in
sharper flavor then poke salet. in order of boldness or sharpness of taste.
of course, when i was small after you had gotten all the meat off a ham that
you could, the hambone was then put in a pot of greens ar in with white
limas or pintos. since my mom has gottem more down with the parkenson
disease, i know no one now that can cook the beans like i like them. same
goes for home fried peach turnovers, really good homemade divinity candy (or
sea foam if you like divinity made with brown sugar). younger women don't
learn to cook like this even in the south.

Being from Texas, I had never heard of poke salad until I heard the song,
"Poke Salad Annie". It's like collard greens, right?
