The REAL reason she doesn't like the smell of greens while they are
cooking is they actually give off a sulfur smell, which is a diluted
form of mustard gas. The longer you cook them, the more sulfur they
release.

There is a difference between sulphur released in cooking greens and
sulphur mustard as I understand it.

I could be wrong though.

While I have never tasted greens i like, Alton Brown says the reason
most people do not like greens are they are cooked too long. He
recommends you only cook them 45 min or until they are tender. I think
most southerners cook them till they are almost mush.

I have had them done right - just tender and they are good.

The problem is you really have to be experienced in cooking them right
though.

Yup.

She must've fixed the collards improperly. That's all I can say about that.

I dunno. I love veggies, but the "greens" being discussed are not among
my favorites.

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

Oh man, you guys are weird.. Here's a hint.. Grass is for cows and
horses... bitter grass should be avoided all together. It's the same
way I feel about Bluefish.. If you have to start a conversation about
eating it with "It's good if it's cooked like this", or "It's good if
you add this... ".. then I am probably not interested.....

Greens is good. Needs salt pepper, and lots of butter.
Then something to wash it down with.
Your pick.

Well, unlike salad, you've gotta cook greens. Uncooked greens are for cows
and horses, and Japanese Beetles.

As with anything that needs cookin', there's a right way and a wrong way.
The same is true of fish, unless you're one of those weird sushi eaters.
