Turnip greens is good.

They be the next best thing to collards. Then kale, then spinach. Then poke
weed. Then dandelions.

I like spinach, then turnip. Didn't care for the collards my ma made,
and never tried kale.
You remember that guy Euell(sp?) Gibbons?
He wrote a few books about collecting and cooking greens and weeds.
I had one called "Stalking the Wild Asparagus."
Everything he picked he'd soak in butter when cooking.
Supposed to be in the "Health Book" genre, but I laughed when I saw
a stick of butter in every recipe for dandelions, grasses, etc.
Wasn't too surprised when he died fairly young of congestive heart
failure.
Now I like butter, but I don't want to eat a weed if it needs a stick
of butter to make eatable.
