I’m curious who eats greens with their holiday meals or in general. I’m seeing a lot of green beans and green bean casserole on y’all thanksgiving menus but I don’t see greens. A holiday in the south is paired with greens. 😋 I could never go without them.
Are you saying green bean cassarole, green olives and those little sweet pickles dont count?
Here is a pretty good simple recipe if anyone wants to make some. It also tells you how to clean them and pull of the steams. I suggest if you can to get them fresh from someone who has a garden, farmers market or we even have people who set up tables and sell them. They do have prepackaged ones but i promise the fresh ones are best. season to your taste. Hot sauce and vinegar is a must for me.

Thanks for the tip! It’s been an option on my pick 10 produce delivery from the local co op several times but I fear the unknown. Okra seems to be big down here too? I’ve had it in soup before and not really sure I know why it’s popular
have you had fried okra? okra is definitely a southern side, especially fried.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, nope have not fried. Frying helps a lot of things though so I can see that working out ok. Can you explain the taste of greens at all or is it it’s own thing?
The amount of people on here who've never had collard greens is blowing my mind lol I assumed they were everywhere.
Never had them. New to living in the south but my other family here is also northern transplants so it never makes an appearance at our holiday meals. Green beans all the way for me
I agree with @dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, you must leave the room NOW 😂. Jk. They’re delicious though. You need to try them.
We might reinstate your card. Until further notice it’s provoked!!
I would love them, but I would be the only one to eat them. We do a brussel sprout dish. It’s not truly a casserole, but it does have cheese and bacon.
We eat green bean casserole AND greens, cabbage even. We eat EVERYTHING. LOL
Totally not baby related i’m just curious What colour do you ladies see? I see pink and white. My hubby and kids see grey and green. Hubby says i need to get my eyes checked to see if i’m colour blind 😂😂😂
Hey I’m 26 with two children #myfirstpost Okay I’ll be real and explained why I joined, I didn’t know I could be looked up or anyone would actually see this post, I was informed someone I know has been stealing pics and I came to look and see what’s going on if any of mine were on there or anyone else I knew. I just typed until it let me post since it was required before I could look around on the app.
TWW!! 2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Am I seeing things....

My dad grows mustard and collard greens, spinach, lettuce, purple Hull peas, tomatoes, corn, watermelon etc. I grew up eating greens. My dad cooked them using ham hock, I usually use bacon. Love me some good home cooked greens. Now I'm craving them lol

Ooooo I wasn’t aware hot sauce and vinegar could be involved! All my family is from IL and PA, so greens wouldn’t normally be on any of the holiday plans. I just love all food and have major food envy over all styles that actually involve flavor!

I've never had greens. Is it like cooked spinach?

Me neither. I watched the High on the Hog documentary on Netflix and really really really want to taste authentic soul food, but my entire family is northern. One side is from Canada and the other 1700s New England.
