They are not exactly beans, but close, with an earthy flavor all their own. Of course, mine often get the oldtimer treatment, with a little kick. This time there will be a ham hock involved, and some chiles. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE beans ... possibly the biggest part of my diet for decades now. how do mustard greens compare to collard greens -- taste wise? my family always used some sort of pork when cooking the collard greens. I could eat greens daily. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've tried all the greens. Mustard greens ended up as my favorite. I think they are less bitter than collards, if you don't tell someone what they are, they might think it is spinach, but it isn't spinach... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"okay, buddy ... YOU get to clean up the pizza then." oh, the good ol days. Oh yeah, the “the good ol’ days.

JohnJ Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Geeze all of you sailors sound like southside guys to me. Supposedly going to school in Atl., met the brother of a guy I knew in high school here. Roomed and conspired together for a while... pony kegs and inner tubes go well together. In the heat of summer about an hour N of Atlanta is a river straight out of the mountains that will take your breath away when it's 90 outside it's so cold. Besides the innertubes and our two rafts there were a lot more in that flotilla on the Chattahoochee before long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been very long time since we have gone tubing, like 30 years, but we do go kayaking, no room for beer but we make up for it. It's better to go during the week, on the weekend there are more people. The weekend... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 You live you learn, sometimes the hard way in my case. As long as I keep it to three shots a week or so (medicinal purposes) as I have been for a couple years I'm ok and the new one is too. It's a decade more young than the rest of me! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard if you're laying on a bed and the room is spinning, hang a leg off so your foot can touch the floor and the spinning will stop. I've never tried it, it's been decades since I've felt like that. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'm with oldtimer on this one......Mustard Greens. A little vinegar too. Folks here in the south (maybe all over the US) say the greens are more tender after the first frost. Folks in Florida may starve waiting for a frost though. Turnip Greens are pretty tasty too with pieces of the Turnip root added. Third favorite would be Collards again with vinegar. I do think I'm in the minority in not choosing collards as #1. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
