My mom mentioned her Aunt Sally going up the hill to pick poke weed for a salad in southern Kentucky (this must have been in the 1930's since mom is 82). This article in Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokeweed, points out that the plant is poisonous but edible when properly cooked. I guess that leaves out raw salad.
I guess I'll have to be careful what I decide to eat from Nature's bounty since Nature might have a bounty on me.
