Go out in a field in spring and find some poke, tender now. Pick leaves off, take stalks home and wash real well. Now cut in about 3 inch pieces, slice in middle lengthwise. Put in salt water and soak for how long it takes to get ready to fix supper. When ready, roll in cornmeal. Put in skillet in lard. Fry until tender and brown. Leaves are used for poke salad.
