If you're reading this, Chef, consider offering this as an alternative to the pepper vinegar. I had the greens today and used my husband's honey mustard salad dressingas a topper. That was pretty good! Southeastern Kentucky folks traditionally use apple cider vinegar. If you’re reading this, Chef, consider offering this as an alternative to the pepper vinegar.

If you steam it and then slather it in butter, it tastes just like artichoke. LOVE IT. Okay, I have to chip in here and say that Swiss Chard – the red one – is my absolute favorite.

The ones leftover in my fridge just now (destined for tonight's dinner) are collard, mustard, and spinach. I cook them with onions and chicken broth, so I get the best of two traditions (Jewish and Southern), and I like them on the soupy side. I usually use red pepper flakes (unless I'm in a black pepper mood) and add some black-eyed peas. Another addition that makes it a one-dish meal is Whole Foods' smoked andouille sausage, sliced bite-sized and wamed up in the greens and broth/potlikker. Cornbread on the side would be ideal, but I happen to have half of a baguette in the freezer, and that will do just fine tonight. I grew up in Texas, where greens aren't usually this complicated. . . my palate grew up later. I’m partial to a mix of greens.
