AKA Poke Salad. I have a few plants that are sprouting in my back yard. They're maybe 6" 8" tall right now. Anyone know how to cook it? All I know is you're supposed to change the water 3 times.
Anybody have any tips, or am I better off not trying it? I've heard it's right tasty.

| | | Cool! I was going to start a little garden this year but haven't yet. Not too late I guess. On topic, I have no idea what in the hell Poke Weed is.  |

The root, seeds, and to a lesser extent the leaves are toxic. The Indians ate it, and I understand it's still popular down south. It's just that there's a trick to preparing it. I've heard that it's really quite tasty. http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Pla.../Pokeweed.html

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Lakeland, FL | | We have an Angel Trumpet plant growing in our backyard. I've read that the juice from the flowers is a strong hallucinogen  The problem is, it's also toxic and people have died from making "tea" from it. The flowers are cool looking and they grow all over the place so it's not like someone will jump the fence and die from my flowers  |

protects itself from enemies by inflating itself to many times its normal size. If taken by
humans the effect is to make every cell in the body instantaneously try to swell some 2,000 times. This is invariably fatal, and very loud.
| Cooks who are qualified to prepare the fish correctly are called squishi chefs. Quote:
Teppic reached over with the little wooden fork and skewered a paper-thin sliver of white fish. The squishi chef was scrutinising him with the air of one watching a toddler on his first birthday. So, he realised, was the rest of the restaurant.
He chewed it carefully. It was salty and faintly rubbery, with a hint of sewage outfall.
'Nice?' said Chidder anxiously. Several nearby diners started to clap.
'Different,' Teppic conceded, chewing. 'What is it?'
'Deep sea blowfish,' said Chidder.
'It's all right,' he said hastily as Teppic laid down his fork meaningfully, 'it's perfectly safe
provided every bit of stomach, liver and digestive tract is removed, that's why it cost so
much, there's no such thing as a second-best blowfish chef, it's the most expensive food in the world, people write poems about it-'
'Could be a taste explosion,' muttered Teppic, getting a grip on himself. Still, it must have
been done properly, otherwise the place would now be wearing him as wallpaper.
