Do Caucasion People Eat Collard Greens (this might be funny but its a serious question)?

Answer 1

I've had collard greens. Some of my grandparents' friends and relatives served them all the time. They were white and from the south. I remember my grandmother serving fried mush.

Answer 2

Sure, they're a Southern thing no matter what race a person is. I've also seen some Indian recipes (in a cookbook by Madhur Jaffrey) that claim collards are the same as, or very similar to, a type of greens that are very popular in parts of India. There are some Mexican recipes that are usually made with chard and I don't know if you could substitute collards, but very likely you could. There are Italian recipes that use kale and maybe you could substitute collards. People all over the world use various types of greens.

Answer 3

Most Southerners in the US (of any color or creed) have eaten, or continue to eat "collard greens". Your question betrays an apparent lack of understanding about what collards are and where they come from.

Collards are just another member of the cabbage family and are a regular part of the diet of many people in Brazil, Portugal, Spain and even Kashmir!



(Pass the vinegar, Rowlfe! Mmmmm....!)

Answer 4

Of course caucasian people (white people, generally in the southern portions of the U.S.) eat collard greens. Mustard greens, kale, tendergreens, creecy greens, rape, chard, beet tops, spinach, etc. are also eaten. We like ham hocks and turnip greens with a good side of butter milk and corn bread. Black eyed peas or hoppin' john makes a mighty fine meal. Iffin yalls wants to add tome black eyed peas or pinto beans or some good ol' rice or grits and shrimp we's in hawg heav'n.

Answer 5

It is not funny, but smacks of racism. Many ethnic foods started with a certain ethnic group in the distant past to be sure, but we know more now, and the ehtnicity of food has spread throughout the general population. Would you classify pizza, chow mein, tacos or BBQ ribs with non-caucausians even though ALL of these are now commonly eaten by the entire general population, red, white, yellow, brown, green, or chartreuse? People eat anything, and trying to associate a certain "ethnic" food with a certain ethnicity ONLY shows the roots of where it may have come from in the past, but NOT what it represents TODAY. I am caucasian, and I have lived in the north for all of my life except for a few periods when stationed in the south with the military, and I LOVE collard greens, and I love grits (just 2 pats of butter, thank you) and I love burritos and I love chow mein noodles (and sweet and sour pork) and expecially deep fried Japaneese soba noodles in miso soup for breakfast. Miso goes well at any time of the day.

Bottom line, associating a food with a certain ethnicity only shows where it came from, not who it is who is eating that particular food. Anything else is racist.

Answer 10

Im white and I think they taste like dirt. It has nothng to do with the notion that mostly black people eat them, I didnt even know that until I had tried them a few times. . My dad loves them.
But ironically he would not eat them if a white person cooked them. He is strange though so I dont know if its cause us whites cant fix them right or he is just strange.
