It's "poke salad", which was something only the poorest southerners ate. You have to boil the shit out of the leaves before eating them because all parts of the plant are toxic. Although lots of people think it's "polk". The term is short for pokeweed.They should make the song "Polk Salad Annie" her campaign song. Just change "Polk" to "Word", and you're GTG... Gee, what if Trump picked up on this, like he did with Pocahantas?#Campaign Mean Tweet 2024.![]()

Record company must have been Yankees. There’s no such thing as a Polk WeedI was going by the song title from my youth. That's where I got the spelling. I guess the guy at the record company typoed the label.
When looking up the plant, indeed, it is "poke".

She likely thought "Provolone" rhymed with baloney, too!Record company must have been Yankees. There’s no such thing as a Polk Weed
When I worked in a grocery store in high school a young woman asked me where the Parmeezian cheese was. I guessed she was unfamiliar with Italian cheeses.
There's many decades of TV I didn't "miss" but intentionally avoided.Some of us age well. Some of us don't.
Was it 80's? I didn't watch a lot of TV then. Still don't.
I'd also recommend the "gabbagool".She likely thought "Provolone" rhymed with baloney, too!![]()
